# head -1 configure.l1g

# tail -1 configure.l1g
configure: error: libltdl not found.  See README.

from README:
Guile depends on the following external libraries.
- libgmp
- libiconv
- libintl
- libltdl
- libunistring
- libgc
- libffi
It will also use the libreadline library if it is available.  For each
of these there is a corresponding --with-XXX-prefix option that you
can use when invoking ./configure, if you have these libraries
installed in a location other than the standard places (/usr and
/usr/local).

above implies that option --with-libltdl-prefix should exist.

successful configure using:

env LDFLAGS="/usr/local/lib" ./configure

Hi,

Thanks for trying out the latest & greatest!

That’s old; I strongly recommend Libtool 2.x, though I think 1.5 should
work too.

Yes, that option isn’t supported, but I agree it should.  :-)

Instead you probably need to do:

  $ CPPFLAGS="-I/usr/local/include" LDFLAGS="-L/usr/local/lib" \
    ./configure ...

Can you try this?

Thanks,

The README implies that the option is available.

I did set LDFLAGS (using env), and the configure
completed. (That was included in the paste.)

Thanks.

What in the README makes you think so?

from README:
	Guile depends on the following external libraries.
	- libgmp
	- libiconv
	- libintl
	- libltdl
	- libunistring
	- libgc
	- libffi
	It will also use the libreadline library if it is available.  For each
	of these there is a corresponding --with-XXX-prefix option that you
	can use when invoking ./configure,

It lists each library and states that there is a corresponding
'with-XXX-prefix'.

# grep 'with-' configure | grep prefix
  --with-libiconv-prefix[=DIR]  search for libiconv in DIR/include and DIR/lib
  --with-libunistring-prefix[=DIR]  search for libunistring in DIR/include and DIR/lib
  --with-libgmp-prefix[=DIR]  search for libgmp in DIR/include and DIR/lib
  --with-libintl-prefix[=DIR]  search for libintl in DIR/include and DIR/lib
  --with-libreadline-prefix[=DIR]  search for libreadline in DIR/include and DIR/lib

The following *do not* exist in configure (as implied from README):

--with-libltdl-prefix
--with-libffi-prefix
--with-libbgc-prefix

I’ve updated ‘configure’ and ‘README’:

Hi guys,

Just to let you know,  guile-1.9.12 finally
compiled completely yesterday evening.

The solution was to pass LDFLAGS="-L/usr/local/lib -L/usr/lib"
to configure.

It was initially necessary to set LDFLAGS so that
libltdl could be found.

I've tried to find differences between ltdl and
iconv in the configure script.

iconv (and all other libs found /usr/local/lib
(unistring, readline, gc) all have many env variables associated with them, eg
LIBICONV,  LTLIBICONV, LTLIBUNISTRING), but not ltdl.  (see attached config.log)

There is still one bug still outstanding:
http://article.gmane.org/gmane.lisp.guile.bugs/4778

Thanks for your patience is all this.
