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.
