Hi,
I just set up a guile library for the kids manually, naturally
configuring with
./configure --prefix=$HOME/.local
Is there a good reason why we do not include the site dir and the
site-ccache dir in $HOME/.local in the %load-path and
%load-compiled-path by default (if they exist)?
I didn't believe it at first but you are right.
So, I tried, and %load-path ended up under /usr/share/guile.
This seems messed up, IMO.
Note that I usually build with --prefix=/opt/local and with that prefix
the %load-path gets set correctly to /opt/local/share/guile.
Interesting, it does work for me.
I built from the guile-3.0.11 distribution tarball.
I notice that there have been a number of updates to the configure
scripts in the guile repo. Maybe those affect it.
I feel like I must be doing something wrong. :)

The load path seems correct.

This time I cleaned up my PATH before configure and built to install
under~/.lokal
and it worked fine. I'm not sure what the difference is from before.
