Damn. No other word for it. I did see this but I thought I'd worked
around it.
Sorry Thomas - this is a manifestation of #441110 guile-1.8: Could not
find slib/require.scm - regression from guile-1.6 breaks gnucash build
That points to an upstream bugzilla report
http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=347922
where gnucash upstream comment:

Michal, if such a symlink fixes the issue for you, this bug needs to be
blocked by 441110 and 441110 bumped to grave severity.

All that is needed is for guile-1.8 to be able to do what guile-1.6 did
and locate that file via /usr/share/guile/ or one of the other guile
paths. It may be possible to ship a different symlink in gnucash:
ln -s /usr/share/slib/require.scm /usr/share/gnucash/scm/slib
(creating /usr/share/gnucash/scm/slib beforehand)
Thomas: is this related to the lack of a guile-1.8-slib package?
