Thanks Patrick, it wasn't quite that but I had a corrupted guile-config 
in /home/ian/bin/guile.  Manually copying the version from the guile 
V1.8.7 kit directory sorted it.

Is there a safe way to do a parallel install of guile V1.9.x to test 
what compatibility's been broken without screwing up Lilypond 
development or is it only safe to use a virtual machine?

Thanks for the pointers.

Cheers,

Ian
