$ ./configure --prefix=$HOME/guile-2 --with-libltdl-prefix=$HOME/guile-2
checking for dlopen... no
checking for dlopen in -ldl... yes
checking whether a program can dlopen itself... yes
checking whether a statically linked program can dlopen itself... yes
checking whether stripping libraries is possible... yes
checking if libtool supports shared libraries... yes
checking whether to build shared libraries... yes
checking whether to build static libraries... yes
checking for libltdl... no
configure: error: GNU libltdl (Libtool) not found, see README.
config.log has this:
configure:46406: checking for libltdl
configure:46428: gcc -o conftest -g -O2 conftest.c -lltdl >&5
conftest.c:598:18: error: ltdl.h: No such file or directory
configure:46428: $? = 1
It seems to me that the argument to --with-libltdl-prefix is not being
checked. And that seems like a bug.
Do you agree?
Paul.

I looked at the generated "configure" file and it would seem that (in
your case) $HOME/guile-2/include is only added to the command line (via
-I $HOME/guile-2/include) if it exists and is a directory. Similarly
for $HOME/guile-2/lib. I suspect that was the situation. Since this is
a standard autoconf thing and we do nothing special, I have to assume
that was the case. Closing optimisitically :)
