Yes, or you could add the appripritae directory to the GUILE_LOAD_PATH
environment variable. There is this paragraph in the README that
explains my motivation.
NOTE: This package installs its Scheme code in a location
determined by the prefix given to the configure script. It does
not pay attention to where your Guile is installed. When Guile
and this package are installed under the same prefix, everything
is fine. When you use a different prefix for this package, you
need to make sure that Guile knows about this location. For
example, when you install this package under
/usr/local/stuff/guile-gtk, you may want to add
GUILE_LOAD_PATH=/usr/local/stuff/guile-gtk/share/guile to your
environment. Or you might want to make some symlinks. This
package does not try to be clever about these issues, as there are
too many variations and potential solutions.
Would you prefer to handle it differently?
