Thanks!

Hmm, you should install it in some other place and make sure
LD_LIBRARY_PATH and GUILE_LOAD_PATH point to it in the right way.  For
example, when you have installed it in /tmp/018, you would need these
settings:

    LD_LIBRARY_PATH = /tmp/018/lib
    GUILE_LOAD_PATH = /tmp/018/share/guile

However, I'm not too sure about this.  I don't know how you can check
what libraries a process is using on SunOS.  On Linux, you would look
in /proc/<pid>/maps.

There will be such a thing in 0.18 (it already is in CVS). You can do

    (use-modules (gtk config))

    (if (string=? gtkconf-guile-gtk-version "0.18")
        ...)
