I have run into a similar problem recently: I'm defining from C the module 'runtime' where I store all my scm_d_defined symbols and when compiling a guile module (using "guile-tool compile") the compiler looks for a file named runtime.scm and of course fails to find one and stops. To solve this I had to create a void runtime.scm file defining this dummy module so that other modules can be compiled. You can see the result here: http://github.com/securactive/junkie/blob/master/guile/junkie/runtime.scm There might be better solutions to this problem but this one is particularly easy to implement.
