Done with Gnucash revision 19152. which still doesn't run using guile 1.6 But, as Tao noted, Ubuntu 10.04 doesn't have guile-1.8-slib package similarly to guile-1.6-slib. Fortunately this package doesn't have anything exceptional: As root r...@studio:/# apt-file list guile-1.6-slib guile-1.6-slib: /usr/share/doc/guile-1.6-slib/changelog.Debian.gz guile-1.6-slib: /usr/share/doc/guile-1.6-slib/copyright guile-1.6-slib: /usr/share/guile/1.6/slib So only valuable file is symlink /usr/share/guile/1.6/slib->../../slib.
So, we can try to migrate to 1.8 ant patch missing symlink. Check for installed packages: dpkg-query -W|grep guile and remove them: apt-get remove --purge guile-1.6 guile-1.6-dev guile-1.6-libs guile-1.6-slib guile-1.8-libs libguile-ltdl-1 Add guile 1.8 packages apt-get install --reinstall guile-1.8 guile-1.8-dev guile-1.8-libs (of course accept, if it says that need to install more) Create missing symlink: cd /usr/share/guile/1.8 ln -s ../../slib slib And say "focus-pocus": guile -c "(use-modules (ice-9 slib)) (require 'new-catalog)" (John, can you explain in plain English what that means?) Then fully rebuild Gnucash As user: make clean ./autogen.sh ./configure --enable-debug --prefix=/opt/gnucash-svn make sudo make install /opt/gnucash-svn/bin/gnucash And it works!! (Was checked on two computers, so should be more or less reproducible).
