Ok - I think that I am missing something important that will allow me to
dynamically load libraries. :(
Is this an environment variable or something?

Hey Tim (feels weird typing that),

are you using Guile from your Guix install? I have had issues with that as
well and I needed to use Guile from my regular OS.

If you're not using Guix then I haven't had that problem, so I'm afraid I
can't help.

Vale,

-Tim Van den Langenbergh

Sorry, I should have said that it was Linux Mint Ulyssa, installed from “apt”. I have another system I can try it on later today.

(It is a bit weird writing to “Tim,” but my last job there were three “Tim”s ... even weirder)

I figured it out. The string argument on my system was the path to a symlink, the actual file was “/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libm-2.32.so” so it won’t follow symlinks to load libraries.
