OK. I understand that deleting the guile-2.0 libs is what fixed the problem. If you’re sure that there were no pre-compiled guile (foo.go) files left over from Ubuntu 14.04 then all that’s left is a serious bug in guile-2.2 that loads both the guile-2.0 and guile-2.2 ice-9 modules. That’s for the Guile guys to sort out, but distros could work around it by not allowing both to be installed.
