Re: annoying simple Guile question

On some systems, there is either _exit() or kexit() that actually calls the OS's exit. If you are on a unix type system and want to get really nasty, you can do kill(getpid(), SIGKILL); But, even at that, a process can hang in the exit of the kernel. The best example is if you have output

I've gotten myself confused. I had gnucash 1.8.8 via fink binaries working and then 1.8.9 via fink source working without a hitch. I switched to cvs and I built gnucash from cvs and at first, it would die with a message like: ERROR: In procedure dynamic-link: ERROR: file: libgw-gnc, message:

I'm mid-stream of trying to compile the CVS source. I had 1.8.9 installed and working (with all the dependancies). The autogen.sh script stopped and said I need XML::Parser for perl. O.k. The cpan dialog stopped and said I need expat. My question is, should I keep track of all this? When

I'm going to move this back to devel. This is all making pretty good sense now. The xml file agrees with the accounts window which agrees with the data structures I'm looking at with gdb, and I found the original transaction in both Quicken and the qif file. A number of questions have come up

gdb debugging

In my experience with dbx and IBM's xlc compiler, you have to turn off optimization to get anything useful from dbx. Is the same true with gdb and gcc? Do I need to recompile at least part of gnucash without optimization? I'm looking at the stack trace in the middle of the database save and

setlocale and nl_langinfo

Progress so far: When gnucash starts up, it calls setlocale nine times from various places. setlocale takes two arguments. The two arguments are: 1) 0(r4 is a pointer to an empty string) 2) 0 3) 2 0 (r4 is 0 -- FYI, r3 is the first arg, r4 is the second arg on a PPC) 4) 0 5) 0 0 6)
