Trying to install guile 2.0.11 on L-ubuntu 12.04. Shell is /bin/bash . Downloaded the tarfile from the Gnu website.
configured with no options make check produced warnings and "unresolved" messages and one failure, bug 27450. It said "please report this" but I believe that as this is a known bug, you do not want me to. make install ran with no visible error. make installcheck failed. After several "nothing to do" messages, it said: make[1]: Entering directory `/home/manager/downloads/guile-2.0.11/examples' /bin/mkdir -p box gcc `PATH=/usr/local/bin:$PATH PKG_CONFIG_PATH=/usr/local/lib/pkgconfig /usr/local/bin/guile-config compile` -c box/box.c -o box/box.o /usr/local/bin/guile: error while loading shared libraries: libguile-2.0.so.22: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory box/box.c:22:22: fatal error: libguile.h: No such file or directory compilation terminated. make[1]: *** [box/box.o] Error 1 The shell command guile produces guile: error while loading shared libraries: libguile-2.0.so.22: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory find(1) found both files: /usr/local/include/guile/2.0/libguile.h /usr/local/lib/libguile-2.0.so.22 I conjecture that gcc was using incorrect search paths. So I did: printenv | grep -i path and got: XDG_SESSION_PATH=/org/freedesktop/DisplayManager/Session0 XDG_SEAT_PATH=/org/freedesktop/DisplayManager/Seat0 DEFAULTS_PATH=/usr/share/gconf/Lubuntu.default.path PATH=/usr/lib/lightdm/lightdm:/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/games MANDATORY_PATH=/usr/share/gconf/Lubuntu.mandatory.path I expected to see a CPATH and a LIBRARY_PATH as described in man gcc. Please is this problem known? what should I do about it? Thank you.
