Hi,

I cannot seem to get gnucash started:

kwmc@bluecat:~$ gnucash
ERROR: In procedure primitive-load-path:
ERROR: Unable to find file "ice-9/boot-9.scm" in load
path

I tried a couple things:

kwmc@bluecat:~$ su -
Password:
root@bluecat:~# ln -s
/usr/local/share/guile/1.4/ice-9/
/usr/local/share/guile/ice-9
root@bluecat:~# exit
logout
kwmc@bluecat:~$ gnucash
ERROR: In procedure primitive-load-path:
ERROR: Unable to find file "ice-9/boot-9.scm" in load
path
kwmc@bluecat:~$ su -
Password:
root@bluecat:~# ln -s /usr/local/share/guile
/usr/share/guile
root@bluecat:~# exit
logout

...and then got a different error:

kwmc@bluecat:~$ gnucash
ERROR: Unbound variable: simple-format

...but guile seems to work fine:

kwmc@bluecat:~$ su -
Password:
root@bluecat:~# rm /usr/local/share/guile/ice-9/
root@bluecat:~# rm /usr/share/guile
root@bluecat:~# exit
logout
kwmc@bluecat:~$ guile
guile> (use-modules (ice-9 slib))
guile> (require 'primes)
guile> (prime? 7)
#t
guile>
kwmc@bluecat:~$ guile -v
Guile 1.4

It seems that gnucash has hardcoded the location of
guile and that it also has hardcoded the structure of
guile's directory?  

What can I do to get gnucash running?

Thanks,
Kevin
