I have now update to latest libtool --version ltmain.sh (GNU libtool) 2.2.6b and the README says that libltdl should be a part of it; however, I just made an install of the libtools package. I also re-unpacked guile-1.8.7, and './configure && make && make install'. There is no change: .dylib fails; .so works. > Note also that libltdl's error messages often aren't the most > appropriate, due to another bug: > > http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.gnu.libtool.general/10621 > > This (often) makes all failures come out as "file not found". Since it works if I change to .so, it seems to only be that file name problem. > So try using a newer libltdl, and if that fails, bug-libtool@gnu.org > is > probably the place to go. Ah - list chasing. :-) Hans
