slib

2000-01-17 Thread Dave Peticolas
It seems many people are having troubles with slib right now. I think I've come up with a test to detect slib >= 2c6 using sprintf (the one that's failing on 2c4). I'm going to add this test, along with an appropriate error message, to the startup code. Hopefully, this will help clear things up.

Yup, That did it. RTFM wins again. Honestly thought my slib was newer, seems like I just upgraded it not too long ago. Seems to happen more and more since I started working Perhaps this makes a case for a check of slib version in "configure" or similar. Actually, there seems to be a ch

Robert, After some investigation, sprintf is choking on the #f passed as the string argument. As it turns out, "string-length" is right in the begining of the sprintf def. I am going to try to upgrade my slib from what looks like 2b4 (wish me luck, one can only guess what this will break.

Robert, I, for one, can get this by just running "gnucash" and selecting "transaction report". No data file needed ! Also using guile 1.3.4. Can there be some serious difference in the way these various language systems are set up ? Disturbing to say the least ... Robert Graham Merkel wrote:
