It looks like it can't find the library binary.  That was probably

You could try adding /usr/local/lib to LD_LIBRARY_PATH.

Alternatively, you could look to see where Guile expects to
find its binary extensions by running

pkg-config guile-2.0 --variable=extensiondir

When run the directory is :/usr/lib/guile/2.0/extensions

After the guile-ncurses install I do not have a LD_LIBRARY_PATH environment variable so in my ~/.bash_profile I:

export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/lib/guile/2.0/extensions

I get the same errors when trying to run my program - libguile-ncurses not found.

if in ~/bash_profile I:  export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/local/lib

I get many errors including core dump that I have not fully investigated yet.

Thanks
