I've created my own version of the Mandrake guile-1.3.4 package that allows for
painless installing of Mandrake. I posted a message to this list a while back
(13 Mar) about it. You can read the archives to find more information.
http://www.gnucash.org/gnucash-devel/Testing/msg00234.php3
Here are the actual files.
http://www.cs.wustl.edu/~sth2/guile-1.3.4-3mdk.i686.rpm
http://www.cs.wustl.edu/~sth2/guile-devel-1.3.4-3mdk.i686.rpm
http://www.cs.wustl.edu/~sth2/guile-1.3.4-3mdk.src.rpm
All I did was modify the spec file to provide libguile.so.4 and make a symbolic
link from libguile.so.4 to libguile.so.6. It's been working great for me since
I first used it with the early 1.3.* releases. I'm now up to 1.3.99 w/no
problems.
If Jeremy wants to make them available at gnucash.org, he can download them
from the links given in the message.
