The guile / slib documentation is very poor, at least I didn't find
anything
useful, too.
If you install guile-1.3 you should get a /usr/local/share/guile/1.3
directory. In this dir create a subdir slib and copy the .scm files to
that subdir.
Then run gnucash once as root, because guile seems to need to setup some
things.
This worked with my SuSE 6.3 installation, which brings guile-1.3.4 with
it,
but no slib.
On another computer I installed the UMBscheme rpm from ftp.gnucash.org.
This
installs a /usr/lib/umbscheme/slib ((?) not entirely sure about that
path)
directory. Then a ln -s /usr/lib/umbscheme/slib
/usr/local/share/guile/1.3/slib
solved all slib problems.
Hope this helps.
Herbert.
