So you DONT get an error if you run:   pkg-config --libs g-wrap-2-0-guile

Is this where g-wrap.scm is located?

Could be..  You're doing things so weirdly..  And g-wrap is just so
broken in so many ways, I honestly have no idea what's going on.
You're also one of the only people who's having this issue; other
people have followed the slackware recipes to success, even with
Slackware 11.  So I really don't know what to tell you...

THIS is weird..  Where is datarootdir defined?   I think it's suppoed
to be /usr/local/share but I dont see it defined anywhere here...
