The workaround for this is to:

sudo port uninstall slib-guile16 slib

Then download Portfile and files/patch-Makefile from ​https://trac.macports.org/browser/trunk/dports/devel/slib?rev=40928 - this is version 3a3. Now change to this directory and finally say:

sudo port install
sudo port install slib-guile16

It should work now. I encountered this problem when compiling gnucash, and it appears to be discussed in this thread: ​http://osdir.com/ml/lisp.scheme.gauche/2007-01/msg00003.html

I got around this by using;

sudo mkdir /opt/local/share/guile/site/

then reattempting to install.

slib-guile16 should now create /opt/local/share/guile/site prior to creating slibcat, as of r42543.
