GNU Guile 1.9.14.68-a7d8a
This is not happening on my build of guile 1.9.14.
I found the error:
On my computer, the directory ~/.cache/ had already been created by
another program, setting another owner so that guile could not create
its directories in it. Then, in the function compiled-file-name in
file system/base/compile.scm, the exception from ensure-writable-dir
is converted to #f, which is the argument after "string" in the error
message above.
By contrast, if it compiles, the location of the .go file is written
out.
