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