I'm trying to install gnucash, and running into a problem with slib-

It looks like there's a bug in its installation script (makefile?
I'm new to this stuff), in that it tries to create a link that
already exists, causing it to bomb:
G5Q > sudo port install -f gnucash +guile16
---> Staging slib-guile16 into destroot
Error: Target org.macports.destroot returned: could not create new
link
"/opt/local/var/macports/build/
_opt_local_var_macports_sources_rsync
.macports.org_release_ports_devel_slib-guile16/work/destroot//opt/
local/share/guile/slib":
that path already exists
Error: The following dependencies failed to build: slib-guile16
Error: Status 1 encountered during processing.
I've verified this by installing XCode and macports (the latest
versions) on my brand new laptop and simply trying 'port install
slib-guile16'; it builds the dependencies but then fails to install
slib-guile16, giving the same error message.
As I said, I'm new to this stuff; if I knew where to look I might be
able to fix it, but there are a lot of files to poke through and I
don't really know what does what...
Advice would be greatly appreciated!

gnucash lists both guile16 and slib-guile16 as dependentcies, however
guile16 also lists slib-guile16 as a dependency. I wonder if this is
causing two build attempts on slib-guile16 and producing your error?
Just a guess......
