compile from source on slackware 8

[Patrick Jacob Spencer-Laitt]

hi I am trying to compile gnucash 1.6.6 from source on slackware 8
i had to download and install (the latest versions) of g-wrap and guppi 
and the SLIB but it still wont compile.

here is the output

make[3]: Entering directory `/home/pat/progs/gnucash-1.6.6/src/guile'
FLAVOR=gnome guile -c \
          "(set! %load-path (cons \"/usr/share/guile\" %load-path)) \
           (primitive-load \"./gnc.gwp\") \
           (gw:generate-module \"gnc\")"
ERROR: Unbound variable: gw:new-module
make[3]: *** [gnc.c] Error 2
make[3]: Leaving directory `/home/pat/progs/gnucash-1.6.6/src/guile'

I am totally stumped ive tried reccompiling g-wrap with different module 
directorys and so fourth but no luck.

some help would be much appreciated

Cheers 
Patrick
