lost: guile 1.7.0 doesn't look to GUILE_LOAD_PATH ?

[David Pirotte]

Hi,

I don't understand the following, since I have installed guile-1.7.0:

1. GUILE_LOAD_PATH is properly set, as shown below

        address@hidden:~ 8 $ env | grep GUILE
        
GUILE_LOAD_PATH=/usr/local/share/guile:/usr/local/lib:/usr/local/pgsql/lib:/usr/alto/projects/guile

2. the libpostgres.so exists and is somewhere in the guile load path, as shown 
below

        address@hidden:~ 9 $ ll /usr/local/lib/libpostgres.so
           0 lrwxrwxrwx    1 david    alto           20 Aug 28 00:13 
/usr/local/lib/libpostgres.so -> libpostgres.so.2.0.0
        
3. however, guile complains not finding the file ??

        address@hidden:~ 10 $ guile
        guile> (use-modules (database postgres))
        /usr/local/share/guile/database/postgres.scm:26:17: In procedure 
dynamic-link in expression (dynamic-link "libpostgres.so"):
        /usr/local/share/guile/database/postgres.scm:26:17: file: 
"libpostgres.so", message: "file not found"
        ABORT: (misc-error)

        Type "(backtrace)" to get more information or "(debug)" to enter the 
debugger.
        guile> 

any idea what's wrong?
thanks
