Hope this helps.
Well, that was more a symptom than the cause in this case. The problem was multipart: First, that the srfis provided by Gnucash are hoary antiques (as indicated by the error message above); second, that the section in configure that tests for them is rather all-or-nothing, so if it fails on any, it will cause guile to retrieve ours before getting the ones it provides; and third, (fixing of which solved the problem for me) guile-1.8 creates a loadable module for srfi-1 and uses lt_dlopen to load it. It turns out that lt_dlopen on OSX needs its own path variable, LTDL_LIBRARY_PATH. Once I set that, guile's srfi-1 was detected along with the rest, our srfis weren't put on the path, and all was well. I think that the best solution is to just get rid of the srfi test and lib/srfi -- but someone needs to make sure that the srfis that come with guile-1.6.0 (the minimum allowed by configure) are good enough.
