Thomas,

Many many thanks for your support! I finally could compile a new guile-pg
module, thanks to the patch of Thien-Thi Nguyen

It now works like a charme. The previous module was built on top of guile-1.4,
and probably was not 'compatible'

Thanks again, it was really nice to have your support, both of you

One last thing:

        The postgres.scm is now as is:

        (if (not (defined? 'pg-guile-pg-loaded)) ;; Unless already loaded 
(static) ...
            (load-extension "libpostgres.so" "init_postgres"))

        Should I leave it like this or come back to

        (dynamic-call "init_postgres" (dynamic-link "libpostgres.so"))
