[Nix-dev] Guile load path?

Hi,

the build of GnuCash fails, because the guile interpreter it uses
doesn't know how to find slib:

  [...]
  checking for SLIB support... configure: error:

     Cannot find SLIB.  Are you sure you have it installed?
     See http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=347922
     and http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=483631
  [...]

The library has been built fine. It's installed, and it's listed in
buildInputs, but apparently some environment variable is missing that
tells guille how to find it, presumably $GUILE_LOAD_PATH or
$SCHEME_LIBRARY_PATH.

I can probably fix this, but I know next to nothing about Guile, so I'd
rather have some advice from someone who knows about these matters.
Anyone? Ludo, maybe?

Take care,
Peter
