I am sending the output of strace when i run guile-gtk. Sorry i did not cut 
to the relevant parts, i though maybe you wanted to see all of it.

  The ldd doesn't show libltdl maybe it is statically linked i don't know i 
can get the src.rpm and check it.

  The output is like this:

	libguilegtk-1.2.so.0 => /usr/lib/libguilegtk-1.2.so.0 (0x4002b000)
	libm.so.6 => /lib/libm.so.6 (0x40083000)
	libguile.so.9 => /usr/lib/libguile.so.9 (0x400a6000)
	libgtk-1.2.so.0 => /usr/lib/libgtk-1.2.so.0 (0x4012f000)
	libgdk-1.2.so.0 => /usr/lib/libgdk-1.2.so.0 (0x40278000)
	libgmodule-1.2.so.0 => /usr/lib/libgmodule-1.2.so.0 (0x402b2000)
	libgthread-1.2.so.0 => /usr/lib/libgthread-1.2.so.0 (0x402b5000)
	libglib-1.2.so.0 => /usr/lib/libglib-1.2.so.0 (0x402b8000)
	libpthread.so.0 => /lib/libpthread.so.0 (0x402de000)
	libdl.so.2 => /lib/libdl.so.2 (0x402f5000)
	libXi.so.6 => /usr/X11R6/lib/libXi.so.6 (0x402f9000)
	libXext.so.6 => /usr/X11R6/lib/libXext.so.6 (0x40301000)
	libX11.so.6 => /usr/X11R6/lib/libX11.so.6 (0x40311000)
	libc.so.6 => /lib/libc.so.6 (0x403fb000)
	/lib/ld-linux.so.2 => /lib/ld-linux.so.2 (0x40000000)

  Thanks for your help.
