Gnucash depends on slib, which in turn builds with scheme48. slib and scheme48 aren't getting along. From what I can get from the slib author, the scheme48 version currently in the ports is broken. I have been posting about this on the ports mailing list too, but no one is doing anything about it. If I knew what I could do, I would gladly do it. I also have a patch that I submitted to ports that would modify slib enough to get it working with scheme, hence make gnucash work. That is how I am currently using gnucash. You may want to locate that patch via the GNATS engine. Thanks, Keith. On Fri, Oct 20, 2000 at 11:47:18AM +0100, j mckitrick wrote: > I had some trouble building gnucash last night.
