That's because it looks for it in the current working dir. Is there an option to disable dso in guile? That's an easy workaround for a broken system.
not that i know of
For the MacPorts version of Guile, setting the DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH environment variable to the location of the Guile modules (in my case, /opt/local/lib) fixed this problem.
on osx, DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH is considered evil, making that a workaround rather than a fix.
I don't have a box to reproduce this on anymore. If someone cares about this and the issue persists, please reopen it.
