Re: [Bug-guile-ncurses] libguile-ncurses file not found

To follow up here is what I did to get it working on Arch Linux:

>pacman -S guile  ;;installs Guile 2.0.9
>wget https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/gu/guile-ncurses/guile-ncurses.tar.gz
>mv ./guile-ncurses.tar.gz ~/builds
>cd builds
>tar -xzvf ./guile-ncurses.tar.gz
>cd guile-ncurses
>makepkg
>pacman -U guile-ncurses-1.4-1-any.pkg.tar.xz
>pkg-config guile-2.0 --variable=extensiondir
    /usr/lib/guile/2.0/extensions
>mv /usr/local/lib/* /usr/lib/guile/2.0/extensions  ;;move libraries to expected location
>cat ~/.bash_profile
    #
    # ~/.bash_profile
    #

    [[ -f ~/.bashrc ]] && . ~/.bashrc

    export GUILE_LOAD_PATH=${GUILE_LOAD_PATH}:/usr/share/guile-ncurses:/usr/share/guile/site/2.0/ncurses

It looks like it can't find the library binary.  That was probably
installed in /usr/local/lib.  When that happens, it usually means
that /usr/local/lib is not in your LD_LIBRARY_PATH environment
variable.

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
