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.
Running gnucash as root once fixes the problem for me.
Yeah, but that's not really a user-friendly solution. There should be some way to rebuild the catalog file at build time.
umb-scheme-3.2-35 fixes the problem for me.
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...
