Packaging error in the latest libguile12-1.6.4-12 ?

Packaging error in the latest libguile12-1.6.4-12 ?

[Dr. Volker Zell]

Hey 

There seems to be packaging error in the latest libguile12-1.6.4-12.
The following files are found under /usr/bin

libguile-srfi-srfi-13-14-v-1.la
libguile-srfi-srfi-4-v-1.la
libguilereadline-v-12.la

whereas they should be instead under /usr/lib (in the package guild-devel-1.6.4-12) 
I think.

Ciao
  Volker

No, this is correct.  These are dlopened and need to be in PATH.  Try:

    guile -c '(use-modules (srfi srfi-4) (srfi srfi-13) (srfi srfi-14))'

Aren't the names a bit misleading, then?  The .la files are supposed to be
libtool library files, i.e., plain text.  If they are dlopened, they
should be named .dll, right?  Or am I missing something?

It's ok to keep dlls in one directory (or even package), and import libs
(.la) in another (as long as the .la files reflect this fact).  In fact,
since there's a guile-devel package, shouldn't the libtool import libs
belong there?

They are, but they are used at dlopen-time to find the dlls.  Just try
the command above without the .la files in PATH.

This command works perfect for me with version guile-devel-1.6.4-2
                                                                ^^^
In that time the .la files used to be part of the devel package.
