Re: install problem with libguile.so.9

[Oscar A. Valdez]

I had the same problem with Red Hat 7.2. I was able to update guile so
that Lilypond installed, but then GnuCash wouldn't run. Since GnuCash
was more indispensable, I had to live without Lilypond for a few months.

May I suggest you upgrade to Red Hat 8.0? With it, both Lilypond and
GnuCash run fine. I've used RH's Upgrade install option, and it worked
quite painlessly.

 downloaded the most recent GUILE, v1.3.4, compiled and installed it. 
 libguile.so.9 still does not show up anywhere on my system and of
 course the LilyPond install continues to fail.

When you manually compile and install a program, it doesn't appear in the RPM
(or deb) database.  That's one problem with using a package system.  :(

I believe that you can tell RPM I have these packages installed on my system
already, don't bug me about then (I think I read that as part of the Linux
From Scratch handbook).  You can also tell rpm to ignore missing dependencies.
(I believe it's rpm -i --nodeps foo.rpm, but check the man page)

This is a problem that affects all binary distributions, and I can't think of
any good solution.  :(
