You guessed correctly :-)

I did as you suggested ... but it is not yet working, I mean that I still get the same
error message. What exactly did you mean with "point gschem and friends at the build
.."? I understood that I should set:
$ export GUILE_LOAD_PATH=/home/berni/guile-1.6.4
After doing this, I still get:
: guile> primitive-fork
: <unnamed port>: In expression primitive-fork:
: <unnamed port>: Unbound variable: primitive-fork
: ABORT: (unbound-variable)
:
: Type "(backtrace)" to get more information or "(debug)" to enter the debugger.
: guile>
and, possibly more surprising, I get an error message when querying the load
path:
: guile> (%load-path)
: standard input:1:1: In expression (%load-path):
: standard input:1:1: Wrong type to apply: ("/home/berni/guile-1.6.4/"
"/usr/share/guile/site" "/usr/share/guile/1.6" "/usr/share/guile" ".")
: ABORT: (misc-error)
:
: Type "(backtrace)" to get more information or "(debug)" to enter the debugger.
Could this "wrong type to apply" be related to the "primitive-fork" error??
