Josh/Derek:

   Just rebuilt guile-1.8.1 from the source tarball and installed it. Since
gnucash-2.0.5 still wouldn't run I tried to make it again. Now I'm seeing
this error:

make[3]: Entering directory
/data1/srcfiles/gnucash/gnucash-2.0.5/src/engine'
chmod u+x ./iso-currencies-to-c
GUILE_LOAD_PATH=: srcdir=. ./iso-currencies-to-c
ERROR: Unbound variable: slib:features
make[3]: *** [iso-4217-currencies.c] Error 1

make[1]: *** [all-recursive] Error 1
make[1]: Leaving directory /data1/srcfiles/gnucash/gnucash-2.0.5'
make: *** [all] Error 2

   I took the default prefix for guile-1.8.1 of /usr/local. Other make errors
occurred as it sought slib/*.scm files in /usr rather than /usr/local.
Soft links fixed all those, but I don't know what to do about this one.

   One step forward, one step back. I'll willingly try your recommendations
on rebuilding gnucash.

Thanks again,

Rich
