Just installed libguile-1.6 and guile-gtk-1.2 on SuSE 7.3. Loading gtk
failed. The reason is an inconsistency between ltdl.c and linux dlopen.

From man dlopen:

       the file is searched for in the following locations:

              A colon-separated list of directories in the user's
              LD_LIBRARY_PATH environment variable.

              The list of libraries cached in /etc/ld.so.cache.

              /usr/lib, followed by /lib.

ltdl.c apparently does not consult /etc/ld.so.cache and thus fails to
find the installed extension.

LD_LIBRARY_PATH is not under direct user control on SuSE 7.3. It is not
even under obvious sysadmin control.

Technically this isn't a guile bug, it's the way libtool was designed
to work AFAIK, but we *are* planning to change it in libguile-ltdl.

This change may or may not ever make it into the guile 1.6 tree,
though.  If not, it's definitely planned for 1.8.
