Hi,

I'm having a pretty hard time getting gnucash 1.1.26 to even configure with
all the accessory programs it needs.  The point where I'm stuck now is
guile.  I've installed guile in /usr/local.  The ld.so.conf file knows
about /usr/local/lib and I've done an ldconfig.  Yet, configure keeps
telling me: "error: Cannot link with guile.  Do you have guile 1.3
installed?

I append below the end of config.log.  Any hints?

Another problem that had me stumped for the longest time was XmHTML.  It is
now recognized ok, but I still can't get the demo programs that came with it
to work.  Only the first one compiles and when run the animation doesn't
work.  Something about not finding the bitmap files, even though they're
right there.  I've copied the executable to the sample pages directory, run
the demo from different places with explicit paths, etc...
I realize the demo programs are not really needed to get gnucash going, but
has anyone gotten them to work?

This is on a Caldera 1.2 system.  Most of the RH 5.x RPMS out there
don't work here because of incompatible libraries, that's why I had to
compile most of the accessory packages from source.  I noticed that
configure used to take --with-guile=<path> (now commented) but now the
automated code can't find whatever library it needs that contains
rl_deprep_term_function, dlerror, rm_instream, etc...

I believe the only accessory package I haven't installed yet is the nana
debugging package.  Still it should compile...

This is probably a path dependency problem.  If anyone can shed some light
on this, I'd be very grateful.  Gnucash is *the* financial management
program I've been waiting for all these years...  I wish I could report
first-hand experiences.  If it's anything like what the web site shows,
great job guys!
