Description Peter Hicks 2002-06-23 16:15:28 UTC 
ERROR: In procedure scm-error in expression (scm-error (quote misc-error)
#f ...):
ERROR: Loaded gnucash srfi-8.scm in unknown Guile version:1.4.1.
If you're running a Guile newer than 1.4, then this file should
not have been installed.  Please report the bug.


The workaround appears to be editing srfi-8.scm, and adding the line:

   (string=? "1.4.1" (version)))

after the line containing (string=? "1.4"..., and removing the extra
close-bracket from the 1.4 line.

It worked for me... but I'm no expert at programming!

Attached are two rather dodgy patches from me to make GnuCash work
with Guile 1.4.1 - they work for me, but need checking.
