1 | Guile extension installation |
2 | ||
3 | The Guile extension library for Dolda Connect requires some special | |
4 | attention when installing, because of how Guile looks for modules. If | |
5 | Dolda Connect is installed into the prefix /usr, there should be no | |
6 | problem and everything should work automatically. However, when | |
7 | installing into any other prefix, such as /usr/local, Guile needs to | |
8 | be told to look for modules there. That is done by setting the | |
9 | environment variable GUILE_LOAD_PATH to include the directories | |
10 | $PREFIX/share/guile and $PREFIX/share/guile/site. | |
11 | ||
12 | Some versions of Guile, but not all, are compiled against a custom | |
13 | dynamic linker as well, which also needs to be told where to locate | |
14 | the shared libraries also required for the Dolda Connect module. If | |
15 | this is the case for your version of Guile, you will also need to set | |
16 | the environment variable LTDL_LIBRARY_PATH to $PREFIX/lib. | |
