GnuCash and guile

[Michael Hart]

Jesse - you're saying the installation's not working after removing  
any manual or 1.8 installs of guile/slib-guile, installing guile16 and  
slib-guile16, creating the symlinks, and then installing gnucash with  
+guile16?

The install process worked for me (after removing some manual leftover  
files in various bin directories from prior, botched guile  
installations - doing a 'find /opt/local "*guile*"' helped with that)  
- but yeah, as I said, GnuCash seems flaky afterwards. And I agree  
with Ryan that this symlinking business is an ugly, purpose-defeating  
hack in any case - I just wanted to get the thing up and running  
again... and don't seem to be getting too far in the process.
