I think this discussion on IRC today was worth posting here for the records:
<CoolPops> Im trying to make gnucash work and when running it I am recieving this error: <unnamed port>: slib:require unsupported feature format ... does anyone have any ideas? <benoitg> CoolPops: Never heard about that. Which version, what platform? <CoolPops> 1.8.8 and I am running ArchLinux. I will tell you that my system is based upon Gnome 2.4 and I compiled the required gnome 1.4 components into a sep dir (/opt/gnome14). <CoolPops> The compile of gnucash went just fine (after finding all it's dependencies). <CoolPops> The splash screen gets to utility-reports, that's when it quits. <CoolPops> I dawe a full backtrace, do you think that would help? <CoolPops> ....I mean: I have <CoolPops> The error appears to be in iframe-url.scm on line 7 (require 'format) <CoolPops> hum, I figured it out (kinda). format no longer exists in slib. It's one of the FAQ's. <CoolPops> What version of slib should I be using? <benoitg> Checking <CoolPops> benoitg, thanks. <benoitg> My slib stuff appear to be part of guile-compat-1.4.1 and umb-scheme-3.2 <benoitg> But you are not supposed to be fine with guile 1.6+, afaik <CoolPops> hum. I'll do some more research. (google.com :) <benoitg> Good luck <CoolPops> benoitg, does the cvs copy (gnucash) build against 2.4 gnome? <benoitg> CoolPops: the gnome 2 branch does, but many basic functionnality doesn't run yet. There is still several months of work to do. <CoolPops> benoitg, ok, I'll still hang with the 1.4 edition then, thank you for your help. benoitg is now known as benoitg-afknp benoitg-afknp is now known as benoitg <benoitg> np Signoff: chkr (Ping timeout: 600 seconds) <CoolPops> benoitg, I installed version slib-2d6 and all works great. Put the new v3 on and it breaks... so, incase anyone else wonders, 2d6 works 3 does not (missing format.scm ... the author of slib doesn't like it for some reason and removed it from newer releases) -- Benoit Grégoire, http://step.polymtl.ca/~bock/ _______________________________________________ gnucash-devel mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.gnucash.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/gnucash-devel
