I have just joined the list so I do not know if there are better answers.  I
also can not get gnucash to compile, but I got past the guile16 problem.
Also I port synced yesterday and I was able to build the docs. In order to
get gnucash to configure I made symbolic links to guile16 called guile and
guile16-config called guile-config. I do not have guile18 installed. I guess
that the configure  input can be patched to fix this properly, but I have
not figured that out yet.

At the moment I am running gnucash on Windows in a Parallels VM. Ugh.
