Ouch, my bad, sorry. Yes, IIUC Guile %load-path should contain absolute directories, and as Geiser does not expand the contents of `geiser-guile-load-path', this "~/..." string literally goes to %load-path. > When changing it with “/home/mthl” it works!

Yes, the fix is easy. The patch is attached, could you confirm that it works? Thank you for finding the root of this bug!
