is guile thought to work on Mac OS X???

[Greg Troxel]

I am the maintainer of the guile package in pkgsrc.

I have a Mac OS X 10.5.6 (i386) machine, and I have built and installed
guile 1.8.6 from pkgsrc.  guile itself runs ok, but when I do

(use-modules (ice-9 readline))

I get a complaint about not being able to open libguilereadline-v-17.so
which is not too surprising as it is
/usr/pkg/lib/libguilereadline-v-17.dylib instead, thanks to the wonder
of apple being not quite normal.

So I wonder

  does anyone run guile on a mac?  If so, does readline work?

  is load-extension expected to deal with this, and perhaps the problem
  is a stray .so in a call that shouldn't be there?


I'll take a look and see what I find.
