Define manually. Did you "sudo port install guile"? Or did you
manually download the guile source code and compile it and install it
somewhere? (where?)

manually: adv. "sudo port install guile" :-)


So you have guile 1.8.3. According to the long description of the
gnucash port, "Variant +guile16 is enabled by default because newer
guile versions do not yet work correctly with MacPorts." So gnucash
apparently currently only works with guile 1.6.x not guile 1.8.x.

So, you should uninstall guile 1.8.3. Then you should sudo port
install gnucash, which should install guile16, slib and slib-guile16
for you.

Before you begin, make sure you have the latest ports by using "sudo
port selfupdate"

OK. I'll try that. But when I tried installing gnucash, it said guile
was not present, so the gnucash install failed. Hopefully that was
just a hiccup.

If you still have problems, please let us know and show us the exact error you get. Remember to Reply To All so that your reply goes to the mailing list too, not just to me.
