Dear Thomas, Yes. The stable upstream Gnucash does not require g-wrap. See: http://www.gnucash.org/ "..To install GnuCash on other platforms, users will need Gnome 2, guile, and slib. Neither the currently used swig nor the previously used g-wrap packages are needed anymore when compiling from tarball or when installing a binary..." Guile 1.6 does just fine on my Debian Sid partition, as long as guile 1.8, including its g-wrap dependant, is not installed at the time of building gnucash. I am happily doing my accounts again. Though, apparently, the scheduled transactions can not be read by versions of Gnucash 2.0 or less. As for SLIB and Guile. It appears to be last year's problem resurfaced according to the upstream discussion which you have read here: http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=347922 Seems to be something to do with loading SLIB's guile.init at the appropriate moment, according to Quillian Rutherford.
