Problems with Gnucash development environment on Ubuntu 10.04

[Tao Wang]

Hi,

I got exactly same problem when building GnuCash from trunk in Ubuntu
10.04. I confirmed /usr/share/guile/1.6/slib is a softlink to
/usr/share/slib. But I cannot find slib for 1.8 in Ubuntu. And I think
the build script is using 1.6 instead of 1.8, because I got following
lines during running ./configure:
=================
checking for guile... /usr/bin/guile
checking for guile - 1.6.7 <= version < 99.99.99... yes: 1.6.8
checking for guile - 1.8.0 <= version < 99.99.99... no: 1.6.8
checking for SLIB support... yes
....
configure:15287: checking for guile - 1.6.7 <= version < 99.99.99
configure:15334: result: yes: 1.6.8
configure:15419: checking for guile - 1.8.0 <= version < 99.99.99
configure:15475: result: no: 1.6.8
configure:15491: checking for SLIB support
configure:15495: result: yes
....
#define HAVE_GUILE 1
#define GNC_GUILE_MAJOR_VERSION 1
#define GNC_GUILE_MINOR_VERSION 6
#define GNC_GUILE_MICRO_VERSION 8
....
=================

I attached full logs, including log for autogen, configure, make and
running GnuCash.

So, what should I do to make it be able to run under Ubuntu 10.04?
