Hmm. A copy of gnc-path.c that I downloaded from trac last night is different from the one I just downloaded now, but the one downloaded 10 minutes ago is the same as svn. So that suggests I was getting an older version from trac when I thought I was getting the most recent. > > For what it's worth, I have made some more changes to gnc-path.c in r19563, > so > perhaps you're seeing these changes as well. I've been comparing most recent svn to the trac display. r19563 doesn't change the behavior I see, so I've been using latest svn while beating on swig and guile to see if those improve my situation. > > Just to be sure, did you run > svn update > in your top-level working directory ?

In general, I run 'rm -rf $PREFIX/*' before make install, so I shouldn't be seeing any cross talk.
