Cool :)

FWIW, the ones for which you don't have the prerequisites are deprecated
upstream.  GConf is also deprecated upstream.  So it's no huge loss, I
guess?

These errors are important.  In this case, do you have a
/usr/local/lib/g-wrap/modules/libgw-guile-standard.la ?

If you do, you probably have an .so as well, but something is wrong with
it.  Is /usr/local/lib in your /etc/ld.so.conf ?

Guile's error messages here are terrible, due to a libtool bug.  But on
GNU libc systems, you can run the whole thing like:

  LD_DEBUG=symbols guile-gnome-2

That will give you a lot of spew, but eventually it will give you the
precise reason that the dlopen failed.  See LD_DEBUG=help for more info.

Another thing to try is ./dev-environ guile from the builddir.

Getting closer, eh? :-)

Regards,

Andy
