Are you taking patches? (oh, my goodness, for > Guile 1.6.1+, of course ;-) Well, there are some options wrt to libltdl, but most of them involve modifying libltdl's search path (via its api, envt vars, etc.), but then you have some fairly thorny questions about how that should be done given the possibility that other shared libraries (or an app guile's linked against) might be trying to do the same thing. I think we'd hoped to wait until 1.7 development to try to come up with a more correct solution, but it *is* a little awkward to require people to set envt vars just to run guile when they're installing to /usr/local. -- Rob Browning rlb @defaultvalue.org, @linuxdevel.com, and @debian.org Previously @cs.utexas.edu GPG=1C58 8B2C FB5E 3F64 EA5C 64AE 78FE E5FE F0CB A0AD _______________________________________________ Guile-devel mailing list Guile-devel@gnu.org http://mail.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/guile-devel
