Hi Mathieu,

Fixed in Guile-lzlib here:

  https://notabug.org/guile-lzlib/guile-lzlib/commit/82576e34b4870b8977e131a40831219f8c1ea521

Guile-zlib doesn’t have this problem because it uses pkg-config to
determine LIBZ_LIBDIR.

When you feel like it, we can have a .2 release of Guile-lzlib with this
fix.

Thanks,
Ludo’.
