Yes. I am not sure whether it is good to single out /usr/local, tho. There might be any number of directories that people could reasonable expect to be in the load path, such as /opt//guile for a Guile using . >>From reading this, I don't follow the direction of the current thread. Perhaps it would be good to articulate what ought to work that doesn't now. The only thing I see is a way to install guile in one prefix, a module in another, and then to somehow configure that second prefix's share/guile to be searched by default by use-modules, load etc. One could also want some code in the new module to be run for any invocation of guile, but it's not clear that's a good idea as it more or less violates the basic language definition and the provided definition of that's in the (guile user) module. -- Greg Troxel _______________________________________________ Guile-devel mailing list Guile-devel@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/guile-devel
