As some may have noticed, the permissions are a bit off.  This will be
fixed as soon as possible.

One minor note: guile -v output should contain 2002 in the copyright
line.

Then I had problems installing from the tarball to /usr/local when an
old Guile (1.3.4) lived in /usr: Dynamic linking did not work, not for
readline nor for srfi-13/14.  After purging the Guile in /usr,
everything worked fine.

I'll try to find more details.

This is strange.  Guile 1.5 uses different names for its dynamically
linked libraries, as compared to 1.3.4.  For example, libguilereadline
is now libguilereadline-v-12.  There shouldn't be any conflict with
old libs.

I haven't tried it again yet, but strace told me that Guile somehow
tried to load the old libguilereadline.so, which in turn tried to load
libguile.so.6, which didn't work and caused a nonsense `file not
found' message from libtdl...

Hmm -- can you find out which file guile is loading that's then
loading libguilereadline?  I'm wondering if it's finding the wrong
readline.scm, or if somehow we're not loading the versioned
libguilereadline like I thought we were.

Thanks

I think I had the same problem Tomas had.  Though I didn't solve it
with setting LD_LIBRARY_PATH, but by removing the old Guile version.

opening wrong version libguilereadline

I am working with a recent Guile CVS snapshot in /usr/local.  I also
have Guile 1.4 installed in /usr.  I am unable to use readline in
version 1.7; Guile aborts due to a SIGKILL signal.  By contrast
version 1.4 works ok.  Below is a strace of Guile 1.7.0 that shows
what files are read.  The actual strace is much larger and I can mail
it upon request.

From what I can judge, libtool picks up the wrong version of the
library.  This may point to a bug in handling multiple versions of the
same library in different locations.

Do you have either LD_LIBRARY_PATH or LTDL_LIBRARY_PATH set to include
/usr/local/lib?  If you don't, you must.  Guile loads dynamic
libraries using libtool's libltdl, and libltdl doesn't look in
/usr/local/lib the way ld.so does by default.  See Guile's INSTALL
file for more details.
