Hello Aleix,
Hi!
I am sorry it took me so long to answer.
Not at all! :-)

Certainly not, never ever :) - This is a distro thing, Upstream gnu
tool chained pkg(s) should never ever do that.

No,
Exactly the opposite, that is, their setting is correct, both in
g-golf, guile-lib and guile-cv fwiw
when a user does not configure passing the --with-guile-site=yes
then _nothing_, nor the pkg scm modules, nor the .go files, nor
any lib should be installed in the 'guile installed dirs'
I have checked again and you are absolutely right. My issue was something that only applies to Homebrew.

you mean the libg-golf/Makefile.am i guess
[ and you probably don't mean
[ $(libdir)/guile/$(GUILE_EFFECTIVE_VERSION)/extensions
[ but GUILE_EXTENSION (provided by guile.m4
I agree with you that when a g-golf user calls configure passing the
--with-guile-site=yes, then libg-golf could be installed in
GUILE_EXTENSION dir.
If not, then the current- g-golf setting is correct
Yes, not a big deal.
Thanks for getting back to me.
Best,
Aleix
