I'm not currently experiencing difficulties, but I thought I'd share
my experiences.  I am using Red Hat 5.2, 

- upgraded guile to guile 1.3-6 from the redhat 'rawhide' distribution
  (recompiled from the source rpm)
- using slib-2c5-3      
- using umb-scheme-3.2-7   

I had a difficult time getting gnucash 1.2.3 to compile and install, but
finally, I was sucessful.  the first time I tried to run it, I kept
getting errors to the tune of:

/usr/local/share/gnucash/scm/bootstrap No such file or directory

I reinstalled/deinstalled/reconfigured scheme and slib packages to no
avail. 

Finally, My solution was to chmod
/usr/share/guile/site/slib/mklibcat.scm and make it executable, then
create a symlink.  from mklibcat.scm to mklibcat

$ sudo ln -s /usr/share/guile/site/slib/mklibcat.scm  
/usr/share/guile/site/slib/mklibcat
[eric@cricket gnucash-1.2.3]$ ./gnucash
gnucash: bootstrap file is ./share/scm/bootstrap.scm
ERROR: In procedure gsubr-apply in expression (@apply fun (apply:nconc2last args)):
ERROR: Permission denied: "/usr/share/guile/site/slibcat"


Then, I ran gnucash once as root, and it worked.  

Now I can run gnucash as a non-root user and it comes up!


-Eric.
