Hi Conrad,

Thanks for the reply.  I was using the Slackware packaging system, and ran 
removepkg before installing the new versions.

However, just to make sure, I have just uninstalled all g-wrap and gnucash 
packages, and verified that there are no stale g-wrap or gnucash library 
files lying around in /usr/lib or /usr/lib/gnucash, and no stale scheme files 
from g-wrap and gnucash lying around in /usr/share/guile or 
/usr/share/gnucash, and then reinistalled.

I still get the same error.

It would help if the error message were a little more verbose about what file 
guile can't find.  Is there any verbosity switch I can use?

Chris.
