problem with (gtk-version-alias gtk) on Alpha (from a newbie)

[Julien Rousseau <le_douanier at yahoo dot com>]

Hi everyone,

First I am a complete Guile/Guile-gtk newbie and I
already managed to go into trouble ;)

My version of Guile is 1.3.4
My version of guile-gtk is 0.17
My OS is OSF1 4.0 version 1091 on Alpha processors (I
would love it to be mine ;))

On monday I installed Guile-gtk and it was working
fine, until I did something (I don't know what) that
must have break things because it isn't working any
more (I did a clean reinstall of guile-gtk afterwards
but that didn't work either).

Now guile-gtk dumps core and when I call (use-modules
(gtk gtk)) from Guile it stalls without doing
anything.

So I did a less ~/project/share/guile/gtk/gtk.scm (yes
guile-gtk isn't installed on a normal path but my
GUILE_LOAD_PATH is pointing on the good share
directory) and saw that it was calling the (gtk
dynlink) module and a function called
gtk-version-alias.


I tried to do it by hand:
$>guile
guile>(use-modules (gtk dynlink))
;no problem up to now

guile>(gtk-version-alias 'gtk) 
; and now I wait until I get bored and do a kill -9

I looked at dynlink.scm for gtk-version-alias and
after some tries I found that it was:
(resolve-interface mod-name) ;with mod-name = (list
'gtk-1.2 'gtk)
that wasn't responding.

I searched resolve-interface, found it in boot-9.scm
it call resolve-module (with the same argument) which
doesn't respond.

Idem with resolve-module. I seems to call
try-load-module which doesn't respond 

Idem with try-load-module.
it first call try-module-linked which return false
(when done by hand) and try-module-autoload which
doesn't respond (it also call try-module-dynamic-link
which returned #f when i tried to call it manually).

Idem with try-module-autoload but right now I don't
have any more time to track further (the computer room
is closing).

I sarched on www.deja.com and on the list archive for
gtk-version-alias. No matches, so I ask here if you
understand what went wrong and what i can do to fix it
(I hope I wasn't too long, sorry but this is my first
question on a mailing list).

Cheers

Julien Rousseau
