I’m very much tired of “file not found” :-), but I don’t think Guile should depend on GLib, which is quite big. I think we should either fix ltdl (probably less work than porting Guile to GModule, but also less exciting) or have a very basic wrapper around dlopen instead of using ltdl (I think Andy had made experiments in that direction.) Thanks, Ludo’.
