Re: ERROR: In procedure dynamic-link:

Hello!

How is it with libnames? I have always assumed that the dynamic libs were called
something like libname.so.1.2.3.
Then when running ldconfig, a symbolic link is made called libname.so pointing
at it. I checked /lib and /usr/lib and couldn't see any libname without
extension. Everyone had extensions .a .al .o or .so.

So I did this in dynlink.scm

(define string-append
  (lambda args
    (let f ((ls args) (n 0))
      (if (null? ls)
          (make-string n)
          (let* ((s1 (car ls))
                 (m (string-length s1))
                 (s2 (f (cdr ls) (+ n m))))
            (do ((i 0 (+ i 1)) (j n (+ j 1)))
                ((= i m) s2)
                (string-set! s2 j (string-ref s1 i))))))))

Then at what used to be /usr/share/guile/gtk/dynlink.scm:19:34:
(dynamic-call init-func (dynamic-link (string-append libname ".so")))


Not very elegant but it works.

Shouldn't guile-gtk (or any prog for that matter) always look for libname.so?

I shall find out who is calling dynlinl.scm and have it call for libname.so. Can
You figure out one reason why it not should look for .so?

I use the same version of guile-gtk as I did before the mdk upgrade
(guile-gtk-0.19-1) built from the src.rpm. It used to work with Mandrake 7.2 and
( i think ) 8.0.

The only .glade files I know about is the project.glade files to use with the
Glade GUI builder, and they load.
