Sorry, that must of been a slip of the mouse....I meant to do a "reply all".

Not as far as I can tell.

Guile, etc. were installed as debian packages along with their default
configuration--if any.  Also, they were not resident until installed as a
requirement of gnucash.

I looked through the gnucash documentation a bit. I didn't see anything about
required configuriation of any of these required packages.    Things do run
long enough to determine the printf requirement--I assume this is genereated
from bootstrap.scm.
Interestingly, I have two complete sets of .scm files.  One in
(/usr/local/share,/usr/local/etc}  the other in {/usr/share,/etc}.  One is from
the package install, the other is from a "make install" when I rebuilt gnucash.

So, this begs the question:
   Just what is the set of proper configurations, and how do I verify it?

I get the same error running as root.
