1 Guile extension installation
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.
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.
