Developers:
This is at least the third time (counting myself) that I've seen this. I'm
running GnuCash (under Mandrake 7.0, 386) with guile 6.0 and readline 4.1.
I'm not having any problems with these later libraries. (I turned off the
dependancy checking and planted the appropriate softlinks.)
I would suggest that whoever's the keeper of the "makefile" that's used for
the RPM please consider looking to see if you can't chop off the ".4" on
libguile.so and the ".3" on libreadline.so so that we can use the "generic"
softlinks.
If there's not a specific reason to require the earlier version, please don't.
It makes it difficult for people who aren't familiar with how the .so libraries
work. Even though I've dealt with this stuff on occasion for many years, it
took me a while to figure out how to get around it.
