I built readline-6.1 and gmp-4.3.2 under MinGW on XP and I have guile up and running but I cannot get readline module to load:

$ guile
guile> (use-modules (ice-9 readline))
ERROR: In procedure dynamic-link:
ERROR: file: "libguilereadline-v-17", message: "The specified module could not be found."
ABORT: (misc-error)
guile> (quit)

$ ls /usr/local/share/guile/1.8/ice-9/ | grep readline
-rw-r--r-- 1 7.9K Dec 20 16:33 readline.scm

$ ls /usr/local/lib | grep readline
-rw-r--r-- 1 21K Dec 20 16:01 libguilereadline-v-17.a
-rw-r--r-- 1 1.1K Dec 20 16:01 libguilereadline-v-17.la

-rwxr-xr-x 1 516K Dec 17 16:53 libreadline6.dll.old

$ ar -t /usr/local/lib/libguilereadline-v-17.a
readline.o

Is there a configuration knob that needs to be tweaked to tell guile where to find this file?

What am I missing?

Regards,
Brad

On Linux I think you'd need either "export
LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/local/lib", or to run "sudo ldconfig" after
installing Guile.  I'm afraid I don't know what that equates to on
MinGW.

Thanks Neil. I tried exporting the LD_LIBRARY_PATH variable but it did not help. I do not have ldconfig on this system but I'll look into getting it.
