GnuCash and guile

[Michael Hart]

There's actually a couple of small typos in the Trac Ticket comment re  
the symlinks (the /bin/* files incorrectly named). This worked for me:

ln -s /opt/local/include/libguile16 /opt/local/include/libguile && \
ln -s /opt/local/include/libguile16.h /opt/local/include/libguile.h && \
ln -s /opt/local/include/guile16 /opt/local/include/guile && \
ln -s /opt/local/bin/guile16 /opt/local/bin/guile && \
ln -s /opt/local/bin/guile16-config /opt/local/bin/guile-config && \
ln -s /opt/local/bin/guile16-snarf /opt/local/bin/guile-snarf && \
ln -s /opt/local/bin/guile16-tools /opt/local/bin/guile-tools && \
ln -s /opt/local/lib/libguile16.a /opt/local/lib/libguile.a && \
ln -s /opt/local/lib/libguile16.dylib /opt/local/lib/libguile.dylib && \
ln -s /opt/local/lib/libguile16.la /opt/local/lib/libguile.la

(trying to add this to Trac too, but having problems logging in)
