1 Guile extension installation
2
3The Guile extension library for Dolda Connect requires some special
4attention when installing, because of how Guile looks for modules. If
5Dolda Connect is installed into the prefix /usr, there should be no
6problem and everything should work automatically. However, when
7installing into any other prefix, such as /usr/local, Guile needs to
8be told to look for modules there. That is done by setting the
9environment variable GUILE_LOAD_PATH to include the directories
10$PREFIX/share/guile and $PREFIX/share/guile/site.
11
12Some versions of Guile, but not all, are compiled against a custom
13dynamic linker as well, which also needs to be told where to locate
14the shared libraries also required for the Dolda Connect module. If
15this is the case for your version of Guile, you will also need to set
16the environment variable LTDL_LIBRARY_PATH to $PREFIX/lib.
