I seem to remember potential problems when you have both guile 1.6 and 1.8
installed.
GnuCash requires slib together with guile and I believe slib is not set up
properly for guile 1.8 on Ubuntu, only for guile 1.6.
See this thread on the same subject (it's about developing on GnuCash, but the
core issue is the same):
