I am trying to upgrade the FreeBSD port of gnucash, but am having a
problem -- the "All the World's Linux" problem.
It seems that guile and guile-config will only be detected if it is in
/usr/bin. Since 90% of the Unix world puts guile in /usr/local, I think
think the configure.in script needs tweaking.
bash$ type guile
guile is /usr/local/bin/guile
bash$ guile --version
Guile 1.3

..snip..
bash$ type guile-config
guile-config is /usr/local/bin/guile-config
bash$ guile-config --version
guile-config - Guile version 1.3
Below is the difference between having guile in /usr/local/bin and making
a symlink for it into /usr/bin/ :
***************
*** 740,750 ****

+ test x/usr/bin/guile-config = x
+ /usr/bin/guile-config compile
! ./configure: /usr/bin/guile-config: not found

+ /usr/bin/guile-config link
! ./configure: /usr/bin/guile-config: not found
! + GUILELIBS=
+ test x/usr/bin/guile-config != x
+ set dummy guile
+ ac_word=guile
--- 740,748 ----
+ test x != x

+ /usr/bin/guile-config compile

Fine, so I use ``configure --with-guile-config=/usr/local/bin/guile-config''
/usr/local/bin/guile-config is now found fine. And with a real test,
``configure'' decides /usr/bin/guile exists:
..
checking for guile-config... /usr/local/bin/guile-config^M
checking for guile... (cached) /usr/bin/guile^M
updating cache ./config.cache^M
..
In addition, the --with-guile-config flag is not being passed to other
sub-configure scripts:
checking for guile... (cached) /usr/bin/guile^M
checking for rs... (cached) nope^M
checking for guile-config... (cached) /usr/bin/guile-config^M
./configure: /usr/bin/guile-config: not found^M
./configure: /usr/bin/guile-config: not found^M
