Hi, I'm trying to build Guile 2.2.0 on CentOS 7.3 with GCC 4.8.5. During configure, I see the following error message:
checking for libltdl... no configure: error: GNU libltdl (Libtool) not found, see README. I do have libtool installed on my system: $ which libtool /usr/bin/libtool $ libtool --version libtool (GNU libtool) 2.4.2 Written by Gordon Matzigkeit <g...@gnu.ai.mit.edu>, 1996 Copyright (C) 2011 Free Software Foundation, Inc.

I'm passing the following option to configure: $ ./configure --with-libltdl-prefix=/usr but it still doesn't pick up libltdl. Based on the following help message: $ ./configure --help ... --with-libltdl-prefix[=DIR] search for libltdl in DIR/include and DIR/lib I believe the problem is that CentOS installs libltdl to /usr/lib64 instead of /usr/lib: $ ls -l /usr/lib64/libltdl.so.7* lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 16 Feb 27 11:19 /usr/lib64/libltdl.so.7 -> libltdl.so.7.3.0 -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 41248 Feb 16 2016 /usr/lib64/libltdl.so.7.3.0 Do you have any suggestions as to how I can get Guile to pick up libraries installed in /usr/lib64?
