Hi,

Dmitry Roshchin <address@hidden> skribis:

You normally have both, as well as libguilereadline-v-18.la, no?

Guile uses ltdl for dynamic loading (info "(libtool) Using libltdl").
The rule is to first search for .la files.  The .la file tells ltdl that
the real library is the .so.18 file, which ltdl then loads.

When the .la file is missing, ltdl tries the .so file instead (not the
.so.18 file).

HTH,
Ludo’.
