New issue 2279 by [email protected]: [Windows]GUILE_LOAD_PATH is appended
to the home directory of the non-adminstrative user instead of either
append it to the directory where guile.exe is started or using it as an
absolute path
http://code.google.com/p/lilypond/issues/detail?id=2279
Reported by Helge Kruse
as "Unable to find file "ice-9/boot-9.scm" in load path"
http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-lilypond/2012-01/msg01273.html
and
http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-lilypond/2012-02/msg00075.html
When I run guile.exe as administrator it succeeds. But running guile.exe as
a user without administrative rights it fails to load boot-9.scm.
You can see here what happens when the GUILE_LOAD_PATH is set
to "SHARE\GUILE\1.8" This is intentionally in capital letters. The windows
O/S doesn't care but you can see, when this variable has been used.
Administrator:
CreateFile C:\Program Files (x86)\LilyPond\usr\share\guile\1.8 --> SUCCESS
There are some additional file open operations but you can see, that the
variable GUILE_LOAD_PATH has *not* been used to resolve the valid load path.
Non-adminstrative user (Helge):
CreateFile C:\Users\Helge\SHARE\GUILE\1.8\ --> PATH NOT FOUND
CreateFile C:\usr\share\guile\site\ --> PATH NOT FOUND
CreateFile C:\usr\share\guile\1.8\ --> PATH NOT FOUND
CreateFile C:\usr\share\guile\ --> PATH NOT FOUND
CreateFile C:\Users\Helge\share\guile\1.8\ --> PATH NOT FOUND
CreateFile C:\Users\Helge\SHARE\GUILE\1.8\ice-9\ --> PATH NOT FOUND
So the bug is: GUILE_LOAD_PATH is appended to the home directory of the
non-adminstrative user instead of either append it to the directory where
guile.exe is started or using it as an absolute path.
Workaround: When you set GUILE_LOAD_PATH to the following value, you can
run guile.exe as non-administrative user:
..\..\PROGRAM FILES (x86)\LILYPOND\USR\SHARE\GUILE\1.8
(must not be surrounded by "")
