OK. I have one. The fink version of gnucash depends on guile 1.6.7 (and slib 2d6) because it works, and I'd been hearing about bad behavior between guile 1.8 and slib. The release notes for slib 3a5 specifically mention some improvements related to working with guile 1.8. What's the known-to-work slib version for guile 1.8? Has anyone tried slib 3a5 yet (released in late November)?
