Are you perhaps on Ubuntu/Debian and have both guile 1.6 and guile 1.8 
installed ? I believe slib is only configured for guile 1.6 on that platform, 
while it is also needed for guile 1.8 (which GnuCash uses if available).

Search the list archives (or perhaps the gnucash-devel list) on how to solve 
this. I believe you have to add a softlink from the guile 1.8 environment to 
the slib directory, but I don't remember the details.
