Description Adam Buchbinder 2006-05-02 01:58:25 UTC
Please describe the problem:
After compiling gnucash 1.9.5 (r13793) from source tarball on Ubuntu Dapper, it
fails to run:

$ /usr/local/bin/gnucash
<unnamed port>: In procedure scm-error in expression (scm-error (quote
misc-error) #f ...):
<unnamed port>: no code for module (g-wrap gw standard)

'make check' shows:

[...]
make[7]: Entering directory
`/home/abuchbinder/software/INSTALLED/gnucash-1.9.5/src/gnc-module/test'
ERROR: no code for module (g-wrap gw standard)
  test-load-c.c: testing module load/unload from C ... FAIL: test-load-c
[...]

More errors follow.

Steps to reproduce:
1. Compile gnucash-1.9.5 from source on Ubuntu Dapper without guile-g-wrap
installed.
2. Execute gnucash.


Actual results:
GnuCash crashes as described above.

Expected results:
GnuCash should have failed at compile time, or it should give a more informative
error message.

Does this happen every time?
Yes; this is repeatable.

Other information:
The trivial workaround is to install guile-g-wrap.

I discovered a Debian bug (#354973) on this issue as well. Can this be helped at
the source tarball stage, or is this something for the packagers?

This is a packaging problem with debian/ubuntu.  It's not a compile-time problem.  The packagers should fix this.
