A Be-GUILE-ing Question

<P><STRONG>
Hi,
</STRONG></P>
<P><STRONG>
I'm new to linux, so if this is a really dumb question please
excuse my ignorance:
</STRONG></P>
<P><STRONG>
I am trying to install gnucash using rpm. I had various
unsatisfied file dependencies. I installed most of what was
required and I now only seem to have one more to satisfy. I am
missing <tt>libguile.so.4</tt> I installed guile 1.3.4 and its library. I
now have <tt>libguile.so</tt> but not <tt>libguile.so.4</tt>
</STRONG></P>
<P><STRONG>
Are these completely different? I have searched around variuos
download sites but can't find this file.
</STRONG></P>
<P><STRONG>
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
</STRONG></P>
<P><STRONG>
JC.
</STRONG></P>

Usually for any given lib*.so you'll have one or several
<tt>lib*.so.XX</tt> to link the "shared object" library to some
general and more specific version numbers. This will allow
the programs that are linked against that library to bind
more tightly to more specific versions, if that's required.
</BLOCKQUOTE>
<BLOCKQUOTE>
You also must remember to run the '<tt>ldconfig</tt>' command after
adding new shared libraries. Of course the location that
you've installed the <tt>.so</tt> files must be listed in the
<TT>/etc/ld.so.conf</TT> file in order for the ldconfig command to
properly find and index them, for inclusion into <TT>/etc/ld.so.cache.</TT>

Jim,
Thanks for the help.
I checked the <TT>/etc/ld.so.conf</TT> file and it did list the required directory,
so I did ldconfig. However, <tt>libguile.so.4</tt> is still listed as an
unrequired dependency. Can you give me any more specific ideas? I seem to
have the
most up to date guile-devel package and guile package installed. Do I need
<tt>.so.4</tt> and <tt>.so.6</tt>? (I have <tt>.so.6</tt>). Thanks again,
JC.
</STRONG></P>

Yes. You probably need both the .4 and the .6 versions of
libguile.so So you probably need to find an older version of
GUILE (or a newer version of GNUcash) to install.
</BLOCKQUOTE>
<BLOCKQUOTE>
GUILE is the "GNU Ubiquitous Interpreted Language for Extensions"
(or something like that --- the GNU people seem to create silly
acronyms one month, drop them the next and let the project name
live on for eternity).
</BLOCKQUOTE>
<BLOCKQUOTE>
The "Official home page" for GUILE would be at:
</BLOCKQUOTE>
<BLOCKQUOTE><DL><DT>
Guile - GNU Project - Free Software Foundation (FSF)
<DD><A HREF="http://www.gnu.org/software/guile/guile.html"
>http://www.gnu.org/software/guile/guile.html</A>
</DL></BLOCKQUOTE>
<BLOCKQUOTE>
GUILE is a Scheme based scripting language. Scheme is an object
oriented descendent of LISP.
</BLOCKQUOTE>
<BLOCKQUOTE>
My copy of <A HREF="http://www.debian.org/">Debian</A> shows a version of GNUCash (1.2.5.cvs.20000204-)
that is apparently taken from the head of their CVS (version
control system) repository. In other words my copy of Debian is
tracking the latest GNUCash development. You might want to use
that version (either by fetching the sources straight from the
<A HREF="http://www.gnome.org/">GNOME</A>/GNUCash site:

<BLOCKQUOTE><DL><DT>
GnuCash!
<DD><A HREF="http://gnucash.org"
>http://gnucash.org</A>
</DL></BLOCKQUOTE>
<BLOCKQUOTE>
... or by grabbing the Debian version and using the alien version
to convert it.
</BLOCKQUOTE>
<BLOCKQUOTE>
(Or maybe you should just grab the guile RPM from the "upgrades"
directly on the gnucash.org site).
