Hi Julian,

A couple of ideas to try:

1. Rerun under strace, to find out exactly where Guile is looking for
the library that you want.

2. Check that permissions on the library files will allow the user
running Guile to read them.

If that doesn't solve the problem, please post the part of the strace
output which covers looking for the problematic library.

Regards,
        Neil
