Problem installing Guile 3.0.4

Problem installing Guile 3.0.4

[Dimaugh Silvestris]

After installing 3.0.4 using the commands
sudo ./configure
sudo make
sudo make install
(it would complain about not having permission if I didn't sudo)

now when I try to run guile in the terminal I get:
guile: error while loading shared libraries: libguile-3.0.so.1: cannot open
shared object file: No such file or directory

After googling for an hour, nobody appears to have the same issue.

Usually you would do:

./configure
make
sudo make install

(only installation should need sudo)

About your problem, hard to know but make sure the path where guile
was installed (I assume /usr/local) is in one of the files
/etc/ld.so.conf.d/ (mostly 100% sure /usr/local/lib will be there).
After that, try running "ldconfig" and then try running guile again.
