I'm not entirely sure what the right answer is here, but I recall why I was hesitant to move it to the devel package. The issue is that "guile-config info" provides information that may be useful even if you're not planning to compile anything. i.e. if you want to know where the pkgdatadir is, or if you want an easily accessable library or guile version number. I'm not sure that other packages should be using the existence of guile-config as the indicator that the development files are installed. This is something I'll proabably need to discuss on guile-devel. > Once I install the development package, I get another problem: > > /usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lguile-ltdl > > -lguile-ltdl is given by the LDFLAGS by guile-config.

If the .so is there, I'm not sure why ld is complaining. Is there any further information?
