What you're saying seems to be specific to pkgsrc.

Leaving packaging systems aside, instructions in the Guile manual read
this:

  1. Unpack slib somewhere, e.g., `/usr/local/share/slib'.

  2. Create a symlink in the Guile site directory to slib, e.g.,:

          ln -s /usr/local/share/slib /usr/local/share/guile/site/slib


So `(load-from-path "slib/guile.init")' would be consistent with these
instructions.

Thanks,
Ludovic.
