Hi!
Compiling guile 1.6 like so:
$ configure --prefix=/usr/local/guile
$ make
$ su
# make install
and running it like so:
$ LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/local/guile/lib /usr/local/guile/bin/guile
guile> (use-modules (ice-9 readline))
gives the error:
ERROR: In procedure dynamic-link:
ERROR: file: "libguilereadline-v-12", message: "file not found"
Running guile under strace reveals the following surprising system calls just
before the error:
access("/usr/local/guile/lib/libguilereadline-v-12.so", R_OK) = 0
access("/lib/libguilereadline-v-12.so", R_OK) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory)
open("/lib/libguilereadline-v-12.so", O_RDONLY) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory)
that is, it finds it can open /usr/local/guile/lib/libguilereadline-v-12.so,
but ignores it.
I'm doing this on RedHat 7.3, with libltdl.so.3.1.0 (the standard one for
redhat 7.3) installed.
Setting LTDL_LIBRARY_PATH also doesn't work.
Any ideas?
TIA,
William

Try configuring Guile with "--enable-ltdl-install". Your version of
libltdl seems to be buggy.
Random thoughts: we should probably stop trying to use libltdl as if
it were a dependable, mature external package. It just isn't yet, and
while it gets there (with our help), we should fork it (with
s/ltdl/scm_ltdl/).

Hmm. That might be a good idea. Would you want to provide the
functions as a libguile-ltdl?

Doesn't really matter I'd say. libltdl is only one source file
(ltdl.c) and we could just copy it into libguile.

Setting LTDL_LIBRARY_PATH also doesn't work.
Any ideas?
determine your tolerance for non-robust software. figure out when, if
ever, its programmers are likely to meet your requirements. set your
expectations and trust accordingly. beyond "tolerable", find a personal
definition of excellence and try to move in that direction. compromise
only if you can't do better yourself.
