Ok, I finally got this working. Rob, maybe you can see an
easier way. Anyway, it seems the new reporting stuff requires
slib 2c6, right? However, if you are a RedHat user, there are
some problems. Here is how I got it to work:
1. Install latest guile (1.3.4) and guile-devel rpms.
2. Install slib-2c6 rpm.
3. The guile-1.3.4 rpm uses the slib package included with the
umb-scheme package which appears to have slib 2c5 which won't
work. Thus, you need to change the link /usr/share/guile/slib to
point to /usr/share/slib (or wherever slib 2c6 is installed). You
don't seem to need umb-scheme anymore, even though rpm will tell
you there is a dependency.
4. It seems that guile (or slib?) needs the file slibcat in
/usr/share/guile in order to work. This file is automatically
generated. However, if you have guile installed in a root-owned
directory (which is the case for the guile rpm), you will need
to be root in order to generate the file. I found that by running
guile as root and then loading the command:
(primitive-load "gnucash/src/scm/srfi/srfi-8.guile.scm")
that the slibcat file was generated. After that, I could run
gnucash as a regular user and everything worked.
whew! I hope the packagers resolve these issues soon.
Anyway Rob, now that I have this working, can you tell me how I can
get the scheme reports to pass the html to gnome as one large string?
thanks,
dave
