Hi Aidan,

Apologies for this.  It is actually a libltdl issue:

  "As I am sure many are aware, libltdl's error reporting is pretty
  dumb, lt_dlerror() regularly reports things like "file not found"
  where the actual problem might be something completely different, and
  a reasonable error string may be readily available from dlerror()."

In this case loading the library fails probably because you did not add
SDL libs.  `sdl-config --cflags --libs` perhaps?  Just a guess.

That said, the dynamic FFI is more fun; and also, there is a guile-sdl
package out there somewhere.

Cheers,

Andy
