I build 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
-rw-r--r-- 1 611K Dec 17 16:53 libreadline.a

-rwxr-xr-x 1 516K Dec 20 14:57 libreadline6.dll
-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

Hi,

This means that Guile failed to dlopen libguile-readline, which probably
means that libguile-readline is not in the loader’s search path
($LD_LIBRARY_PATH on GNU variants.)  Can you check that?

Hope this helps,
Ludo’.
