Fun!
I’m very much tired of “file not found” :-), but I don’t think Guile
should depend on GLib, which is quite big.
I think we should either fix ltdl (probably less work than porting Guile
to GModule, but also less exciting) or have a very basic wrapper around
dlopen instead of using ltdl (I think Andy had made experiments in that
direction.)
Thanks,
Ludo’.
