Yes, the instructions in "Section 2.3 Linking Guile into
Programs" failed when I attempted to run the generated
'simple-guile' executable file.

[guile]$ unset LD_LIBRARY_PATH
[guile]$ ./simple-guile
./simple-guile: error while loading shared libraries:
libguile-2.0.so.18: cannot open shared object file: No such
file or directory

[guile]$ export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/local/lib
[guile]$ ./simple-guile
