Re: I tried your suggestions and got this. Mandrake 10.0

I'm really not an expert in the way Guile loads dynamical libraries,
but waiting for some Mandrake 10 user or expert of the inner workings
of Guile to answer, I try anyway.

OK, it should be there, but I couldn't see it in the list you
sent in the previous email. I'm sure that if you run
ls -l libguile-srfi-srfi-13-14-v-1.so
it will will show a soft link to libguile-srfi-srfi-13-14-v-1.0.0.

That's really strange. From the documentation of Guile,
"It will look in the places that are usual for your operating system,
and it will additionally look into the directories listed in the
`LTDL_LIBRARY_PATH' environment variable."
Unless Mandrake has done something very strange, /usr/lib/ should
definitely be in the standard directory.


By the way, where did you find the Guile libraries? Could it
possibly be that you installed lib files that don't work on
your Linux (sounds very unlikely, though)?
