If +Dolda Connect is installed into the prefix /usr, there should be no +problem and everything should work automatically. However, when +installing into any other prefix, such as /usr/local, Guile needs to +be told to look for modules there. That is done by setting the +environment variable GUILE_LOAD_PATH to include the directories +$PREFIX/share/guile and $PREFIX/share/guile/site. + +Some versions of Guile, but not all, are compiled against a custom +dynamic linker as well, which also needs to be told where to locate +the shared libraries also required for the Dolda Connect module. If +this is the case for your version of Guile, you will also need to set +the environment variable LTDL_LIBRARY_PATH to $PREFIX/lib. + + + +This document was last updated 2008-01-14, reflecting release 1.1 of +Dolda Connect.
