Re: guile-www configure script cannot find srfi

[Greg Troxel <gdt%ir.bbn.com@localhost>]

I just built guile-www on NetBSD-current (i386), and it worked fine -
but that's not on Darwin.  But, guile (1.6.8, from pkgsrc) is able to
find srfi 13.  It sounds like guile-www configure is failing to find
srfi-13 (see line below), but that's surely via scheme not .h and
libs.  Try it manually with guile:

/usr/pkgsrc/devel/guile-www > guile
guile> (use-modules (srfi srfi-13))
guile> (version)
"1.6.8"

If that fails, which I expect it will, then there's probably some
dynamic linking issue; Darwin seems to compile absolute paths into
binaries, vs RPATH used by *BSD and
rpath-banned-put-everything-in-/usr/lib-or-set-LD_LIBRARY_PATH
approach of Debian.


See /usr/pkg/share/guile/1.6/srfi/srfi-13.scm.
It defines a bunch of procedures in Scheme, but also does:

(load-extension "libguile-srfi-srfi-13-14-v-1" "scm_init_srfi_13")

This is supposed to dynamically link the shlib (first arg) and then
runt he initialization function (2nd) from the lib, which registers
the new Scheme procedures defined in C.

These are present on my box:

and that library dynamically links to others:

> ldd /usr/pkg/lib/libguile-srfi-srfi-13-14-v-1.so.1.0.1 
/usr/pkg/lib/libguile-srfi-srfi-13-14-v-1.so.1.0.1:
        -lcrypt.0 => /usr/lib/libcrypt.so.0
        -lm.0 => /usr/lib/libm387.so.0
        -lm.0 => /usr/lib/libm.so.0
        -lpthread.0 => /usr/lib/libpthread.so.0
        -lguile-ltdl.1 => /usr/pkg/lib/libguile-ltdl.so.1
        -lguile.12 => /usr/pkg/lib/libguile.so.12


There's an outstanding PR about guile dynamic linking with libltdl for
g-wrap; see PR 33665 for some clues.   I think it's quite likely that
this is the same issue.
