Description Bastien Rissoan 2024-01-27 12:45:59 UTC
Hi,
I recently compiled the stable version of mailutils with "guile" use flags.
Loading the mailutils module from guile fails out of the box.

Here is why:
The guile module is installed in "/usr/share/guile/site/2.2/mailutils/mailutils/mailutils.scm".
The piece of scheme code "only" loads C-libraries: either the environment variable "MAILUTILS_SCM_LIBRARY_ROOT" is set, and it looks in this directory, expecting a specific structure (for example: "libproto/mh/libmu_mh"; otherwise it looks for a file called "libguile-mailutils-v-${V}" in "/lib/64".

Portage installed all the required libraries (.so files) on "/lib/64", at the top level, and there is no "libguile-mailutils-v-${V}", so "mailutils.scm" fails.

As a workaround, I rewrote "mailutils.scm" so that it points to the actual location of the libraries of my system, and I can use the module as expected.
