Can't find slib?

[Donald Allen]

On a Slackware 13.1 (32-bit) system, I just checked out svn head, tried
./configure --prefix=/opt/gnucash-devel, and got:

checking for SLIB support... configure: error:

Cannot find SLIB.  Are you sure you have it installed?
See http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=347922
and http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=483631

slib is installed:

 ls -l /var/adm/packages/slib*
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 5425 2010-12-04 17:30
/var/adm/packages/slib-3b2-i486-2_SBo

The second of the bugs mentioned in the error message contains a comment
from Derek about a symlink from /usr/share/guile:

 /usr/share/guile:
  total used in directory 16 available 283823416
  drwxr-xr-x   4 root root 4096 2010-12-04 17:30 .

  lrwxrwxrwx   1 root root   14 2010-12-04 17:30 slib -> ../../lib/slib

Furthermore,

 ls -l /usr/share/slib
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 11 2010-12-04 17:30 /usr/share/slib -> ../lib/slib

Any ideas? Need more info? (Derek?)
