 (opening this ticket to track the issue while I think about a solution)

 gnucash sets DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH to include ${prefix}/lib at runtime, which
 can cause problems. In particular, it causes the perl helper processes
 gnc-fq-check and gnc-fq-helper to fail to execute, breaking quote
 fetching. (Possibly this is dependent on which libraries are present in
 /opt/local/lib?)

 Looks like the reason it needs to modify DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH is so that it
 can dynamically load guile modules. That includes both gnucash plugins as
 well as guile srfi libraries, installed by the guile18 port. Perhaps the
 answer is to have them both installed into a separate lib dir that can be
 added to DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH without having to include all of ${prefix}/lib.

 I wonder if this affects any other ports that use guile...
