Can't find slib?

[Jeff Kletsky]

slib isn't functional for GNUCash under Ubuntu 10.10 and the current 
build of guile -- there just isn't a version of slibcat there that I can 
find to symlink to.

Suggestions? I'd really like to get this to work with the current 
versions of guile.

Thanks,

Jeff
