This is not true..  Actually, if you do NOT include the .scm it wont
load the file, which is why it's not being included in the your menu.
However, there is clearly a symbol problem, and I don't know why.
Something isn't pulling in the right set of symbols.  At first it was
complaining about gnc:extension-type -- so I pulled in the gnome-utils
library.  Then it started to complain about gw:void* which
unfortunately is in some core g-wrap library, but I'm not sure which
one, yet.

But this is the cause of your error...
