Hello!
I am trying to put together a guile 1.6.0 rpm package.So far everything
is bundled in one big package just to have something to start with.
I have a question about libltdl. Is it the same as the libltdl that
comes with libtool? If libtool is installed should libltdl from guile
replace the one from libtool?
Why is a libltdl made. Is it needed by guile? Can it be named
guile-libltdl or something?
Can guile work with libltdl from libtool?
Thanks
Bo

OK, though if you're interested in the long run, it'd be *really* nice
to have a proper rpm spec file in CVS, one that breaks out the
libraries into separate packages appopriately. Hopefully with a
ready-made spec file, we might get RH interested in switching
something more reasonable.

Yes. No. Ideally guile should be built against your system's libltdl
and link against that. If your system has a libltdl-dev package, make
sure to install that before building guile -- with one caveat -- there
are some buggy versions of libltdl. We have a patch in our autogen.sh
file for one of the bugs...)

Guile depends on libltdl for loading shared libraries at runtime via
(dynamic-link "libfoo"). Ideally all apps on your system should use
the same libltdl shared library so they all have the same behaviors
(and can share lib and function ptrs internally without risk).
So the best arrangement would be for your system to have a good
version of libltdlX, and have your libguile12 rpm depend on that.
A "correct" packaging of guile 1.6.0 should probably look something
like this:
guile-1.6 (package with /usr/bin/guile -- depends on libguile12)
libguile12 (separate package for guile's main shared lib -- includes
includes share/guile/1.6.0/, etc.)
libguilesrfi-srfi-* (separate packages for each shared lib -- depend
on libguile12)
etc.
I'm gearing up to re-work debian's packages for 1.6.0, so I'll have a
really clear idea after that. debian's arrangement is mostly right
already, but there are some broken bits there too.

How do o know if it is a buggy libltdl. With a fresh ltdl i think i can
have a spec ready in a couple of days.
I build on mdk 8.2 (now rather non-standard) if it matters.
