  Hi,

As reported in <https://issues.guix.gnu.org/77669>, the GNOME Orca screen
reader is failing to find the liblouis library and the xkbcomp path leading to
missing functionality like the configuration window.

The xkbcomp path is simply because the fix was being applied to the wrong file
(caller moved), and the liblouis wasn’t using the full library path.

I think these patches are important to keep Guix accessible so a review would
be very appreciated.

Have a nice day,
Noé

  gnu: liblouis: Fix library path for python extension.
