Otherwise an error is thrown. How object files are searched is system

Normally, @var{library} is just the name of some shared library file

reside, such as in @file{/usr/lib} and @file{/usr/local/lib}.
Guile first tries to load @var{library} as the absolute file name of a shared
library. If that fails, it then falls back to interpret
@var{library} as just the name of some shared library that will be
searched for in the places where shared libraries usually reside, such
