make all fails (help2man cannot find info for lilypond because lilypond cannot find libguile.so.17)

[Aaron Hill]

Well, I gave it the ol' college try and did a bunch of searching through 
the mailing list archives, but I am afraid I am getting no closer to a 
working build.  During the build process, the compiled lilypond is 
unable to locate libguile.so.17 which results in help2man being unable 
to do its job.

I suspect the problem is trying to use a locally-built guile 1.8 in 
order to not disturb the system guile 2.2 installation.  Threads on the 
lists suggest that such an approach should work, but perhaps that 
information is no longer valid.

NOTE: Manually specifying the library path...

/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/ld-linux-x86-64.so.2 \
  --library-path /opt/guile-1.8/lib/ \
  out/bin/lilypond --version

...works and reports "GNU LilyPond 2.23.5 (running Guile 1.8)".  As 
such, the build process seems to be pretty close to working.  But by the 
time help2man needs to run, the library path information is lost.
