This doesn't help the problem of adjusting the load path at runtime which for me has been more important. In my situation (as you probably recall), I was installing all the CVS GNOME stuff in /usr/local/opt/gnome (just so it would be easy to remove when the Debian packages catch up), and I needed guile to know where gnome-guile was putting it's files. At your suggestion, I tried exporting GUILE_LOAD_PATH=/usr/local/opt/gnome/share/guile, and that fixed the problem. So if GUILE_LOAD_PATH isn't already "formally" supported, it should be. It might even make sense to break it up into a GUILE_PRELOAD_PATH and a GUILE_POSTLOAD_PATH for those who *really* need to control where files are found. -- Rob Browning <rlb@cs.utexas.edu> PGP=E80E0D04F521A094 532B97F5D64E3930
