Guile error when starting gnucash application

[Kevin McInerney]

Hello,

I posted this to the gnucash mailing list but never
got a solution.  It may be a guile problem.  I hope
you can help. 

When trying to run gnucash, I receive an error:

address@hidden:~$ gnucash
ERROR: In procedure primitive-load-path:
ERROR: Unable to find file "ice-9/boot-9.scm" in load
path

I tried a few things:

address@hidden:~$ su -
Password: 
address@hidden:~# ln -s
/usr/local/share/guile/1.4/ice-9/
/usr/local/share/guile/ice-9
address@hidden:~# exit
logout
address@hidden:~$ gnucash
ERROR: In procedure primitive-load-path:
ERROR: Unable to find file "ice-9/boot-9.scm" in load
path
address@hidden:~$ su -
Password: 
address@hidden:~# ln -s /usr/local/share/guile
/usr/share/guile
address@hidden:~# exit
logout
address@hidden:~$ gnucash
ERROR: Unbound variable: simple-format

Setting the GUILE_LOAD_PATH environment variable gives
the same unbound variable error.

Guile seems to work okay:

address@hidden:~$ su -
Password: 
address@hidden:~# rm /usr/local/share/guile/ice-9/
address@hidden:~# rm /usr/share/guile
address@hidden:~# exit
logout
address@hidden:~$ guile
guile> (use-modules (ice-9 slib))
guile> (require 'primes)
guile> (prime? 7)
#t
guile> 
address@hidden:~$ guile -v
Guile 1.4

What can I do?
