Trouble with libguile.so.6 while installing

[Derek Atkins]

Hi,

> SuSE 8.0 Pro,  trying to install 1.7.8 from rpm

The GnuCash RPMs distributed on the gnucash.org web site are
SPECIFICALLY for Red Hat.  They will not work on any other system
(without a LOT of luck, and perhaps a tall pointy hat).  For
expediency, you should re-build the RPMs for your particular OS.

> Can anyone help.  I'm not sure how to proceed.

Revert your machine to whatever version of guile was installed, then

Download the g-wrap and gnucash SRPMs and type:
        rpmbuild --rebuild g-wrap-1.3.4-1.src.rpm
        rpm -Uvh g-wrap-1.3.4-1.i386.rpm g-wrap-devel-1.3.4-1.i386.rpm
        rpmbuild --rebuild gnucash-1.xxx.src.rpm
        rpm -Uvh gnucash-1.xxx.i386.rpm

(note: the xxx needs to be properly filled in by you)
