gnucash won't build with guile16 and won't run with guile (1.8)

[Lenore Horner]

I have it running on a PowerBook G4 with 10.4.11.  I don't have much  
installed but Gnucash and Gimp.  I haven't been replying, because I  
had to ask for help to get one or the other to install, but don't  
remember what I actually had to do. Gnucash is out of date so there  
is a bug you may run into (splash screen and dialog box can't co- 
exist so it will hang - start from the command line with the nofile  
option to get around it).  The maintainer has said he doesn't use it  
any more and therefore disinterest in upgrading the port.
