Description of problem: When starting gnucash, I get the following error: /usr/share/guile/1.6/srfi/srfi-13.scm:159:1: In procedure dynamic-link in expression (load-extension "libguile-srfi-srfi-13-14-v-1" "scm_init_srfi_13"): /usr/share/guile/1.6/srfi/srfi-13.scm:159:1: file: "libguile-srfi-srfi-13-14-v-1", message: "libguile-srfi-srfi-13-14-v-1.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory" > ll /usr/lib/libguile-srfi-* /usr/lib/libguile-srfi-srfi-13-14-v-1.so.1 /usr/lib/libguile-srfi-srfi-13-14-v-1.so.1.0.0 /usr/lib/libguile-srfi-srfi-4-v-1.so.1 /usr/lib/libguile-srfi-srfi-4-v-1.so.1.0.0 Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): gnucash-1.8.12-3 guile-1.6.7-5.2
Does installing guile-devel fix it?
This code is all within guile, so presumably the .so files need to be moved from guile-devel to guile itself. Probably some 'feature' of libguile-ltdl.
Yes, installing guile-devel fixes this. I've got the following versions on FC4, where it works. Perhaps it could help narrowing the bug down... gnucash-1.8.12-3 guile-1.6.7-5.2
Sorry, that was supposed to be: gnucash-1.8.12-0.fc4 guile-1.6.7-2
I had fixed it by: cd /usr/lib ln -s libguile-srfi-srfi-13-14-v-1.so.1 libguile-srfi-srfi-13-14-v-1.so

This appears to be because of guile's use of libtool to load its modules - you need either the .so or the .la files in the main package.
Easily reproduced outside of gnucash with: # guile -c "(use-modules (srfi srfi-13)) (exit ((lambda () 0)))" ERROR: In procedure dynamic-link: ERROR: file: "libguile-srfi-srfi-13-14-v-1", message: "libguile-srfi-srfi-13-14-v-1.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory"
Ok, I moved the .la files to the main package. Thanks for the help. Fixed in guile-1.6.7-6.
