<apteryx>which search path does load-extension uses?

<apteryx>OK, it's covered in info '(guile) Foreign Libraries'

<apteryx>strange that even when its in LIBRARY_PATH the .so doesn't seem to be found.

<apteryx>why would testing a guile script as root with: sudo -E guile --no-auto-compile x-resize.scm error with: Pre-boot error; key: misc-error, args: ("load-thunk-from-memory" "incompatible bytecode version" () #f)Abandon

<apteryx>the error suggests it's using a different guile version?

<apteryx>I thought -E would preserve PATH thus the guile I'm using as my user

<apteryx>OK, it was caused by attempting to use a guile built from source, with a guix-built guile-udev binary extension

<apteryx>has anyone used guile-udev successfully? The basic example I'm trying doesn't work, perhaps I'm using it wrong: https://github.com/artyom-poptsov/guile-udev/issues/3

<apteryx>got it working

<apteryx>is SEARCH-LTDL-LIBRARY-PATH? supposed to be an environment variable, or what?

<apteryx>ah, it's a keyword argument of the load-foreign-library procedure, which defaults to #t
