Re: debian stretch upgrade has made gnucash unworkable

[Maxim Cournoyer]

Hello,

It's a bit of a heavy-handed workaround, but you could install Guix, a 
functional package manager that sports  transactional and roll-back updates. 
I'm using Guix(SD) myself and the packaged GnuCash version works fine. The nice 
thing about Guix is that it should be independent from your system libraries, 
so it should work independently from it.

Head to gnu.org/software/guix for more information!

Re: debian stretch upgrade has made gnucash unworkable

Problem is that Guile-2.0 files conflicts with the newer Guile-2.2
Debian shoud have created a tiny Guile-2.0 package containing only
/usr/lib64/guile/2.0/*
/usr/lib64/libguile-2.0.so.22
/usr/lib64/libguile-2.0.so.22.8.1
/usr/lib64/libguilereadline-v-18.so.18
/usr/lib64/libguilereadline-v-18.so.18.0.0
/usr/share/guile/2.0/*

OP can compile and install it in /usr/local/

It looks more to me like there's a problem with the guile-2.0 installation, 
considering that it tried to compile its own scm files. Have you raised the 
issue on any of the Debian support channels?

dank.

i thought it might be something like that. installing and uninstalling 
guile-2.0 or gnucash didn't help. i also had guile-1.8 on there because 
it was used for lilypond [musical notation] ... so i got rid of that. 
anyway, regardless of what i've done so far, i still get the same errors.


i saw some notes about debian stretch and guile-2.0 and lilypond in a 
quick search, so i am apparently not the only one. fortunately, i can 
run gnucash on a freebsd host without complication, so that is where i 
am going to have to do it until debian gets this shit figured out ...


once again, thanks for helping me out here.

Hi Johnny,

The error log you have attached indicates a problem with guile 2.0 on your 
system. It doesn't even get to starting gnucash. At first glance the guile 2 
package is finding scm files that are newer than their compiled counterparts 
and so starts recompiling them. That should not happen with guile's own files.

Your best bet is to check with your debian packager for guile what's going on.

Regards,

Geert

Johnny,

I wish I could offer you some guidance, but I have none to offer, sorry.

Maybe you should switch to Windows...  ;)

(Said because whenever someone on Windows has a problem, someone always seems 
to suggest switching to Linux)

attached the screen dump which may help someone smarter than me to
