This seems to be a common error and I just happened to duplicate it this
morning for another fellow. I am running SuSE 6.3. The problem seems
to be that you need slib in the guile search path. I suppose it is
possible to modify the guile search path ... but not knowing a whole lot
about guile, I chose an easier solution. I installed slib in
/usr/share, but get this error if there is not a link (or slib installed
in) /usr/share/guile. Also, once you have created this link, you need
to run gnucash as root in order to do some slib set-up (at least the
creation of /usr/share/guile/slibcat).
Hope this helps.
