Roughly, the point is that some packages may want to install elsewhere, not in `site'. Therefore, the _default_ value of `%load-path' needs to be configurable. Typically, a package that installs to `/opt/foo' may want to tell Guile to add this directory to its default `%load-path'. Then, for a summary of the important stages of this everlasting discussion, you may want to look at: http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/guile-user/2006-01/msg00064.html . ;-) Thanks, Ludovic. _______________________________________________ Guile-user mailing list Guile-user@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/guile-user
