I've tried putting in 1.8.1 but then configure on GNUCash thinks it can't find SLIB any more???? I tried forcibly reinstalling SLIB after installing Guile 1.8.1 but it still thinks it's not there. I'm a bit nervous about using 1.6 as the version Mandriva supplied was 1.6.8 and GNUCash built with that crashes on startup for me at any rate. Maybe the crash on startup built with that has some other cause I suppose. I'm getting progressively disillusioned with Mandriva. I always seem to hit problems like this every time I try to build up-to-date versions of stuff. > > > > Thanks for any help. > > > > John Collins, Welwyn Garden City, UK > > > > P.S.

This problem. I got round it by commenting out the build of scalable/gnucash-icon.svg Making all in pixmaps make[3]: Entering directory `/home/downloads/gnucash-2.2.3/src/pixmaps' mkdir -p 32x32 cp ./gnucash-icon-32x32.png 32x32/gnucash-icon.png mkdir -p 48x48 cp ./gnucash-icon-48x48.png 48x48/gnucash-icon.png make[3]: *** No rule to make target `scalable/gnucash-icon.svg', needed by `all-am'. Stop. make[3]: Leaving directory `/home/downloads/gnucash-2.2.3/src/pixmaps' make[2]: *** [all-recursive] Error 1 make[2]: Leaving directory `/home/downloads/gnucash-2.2.3/src' make[1]: *** [all-recursive] Error 1 make[1]: Leaving directory `/home/downloads/gnucash-2.2.3' make: *** [all] Error 2 Thanks for any help anyone can give.
