Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

umb-scheme-3.2-33 works fine.

FYI, this was mostly fixed in gnucash 1.8.9 and one last compilation
problem was fixed on 2004-05-05.  This _particular_ problem is more
that the slib catalog file needs to be rebuilt, which required
effectively running gnucash as root once.

Comment 4 Ralf Ertzinger 2004-09-13 11:32:09 UTC

Running gnucash as root once fixes the problem for me.

Comment 5 Bill Nottingham 2004-09-13 16:21:21 UTC

Yeah, but that's not really a user-friendly solution. There should be
some way to rebuild the catalog file at build time.

Comment 6 Tim Waugh 2004-09-13 16:47:30 UTC

umb-scheme-3.2-35 fixes the problem for me.

Comment 7 Jindrich Novy 2004-09-14 07:26:00 UTC

Hello Tim, I regenerated the slibcat to be friendly with slib 3a1 and
it works fine also for me. Closing this.

Ralf, running gnucash as root solves the situation too, because guile
tries to regenerate slibcat form umb-scheme if it's missing, but
nonroot user has no chance to launch gnucash as guile cannot write to
/usr/share/guile...

HTH,
Jindrich
