Re: Lilypond - GNUCash

[Ian Hulin]

Hi Bernhard,
It looks like it's a guile compatibility problem with both the GNUCash
and lilypond layering on different versions/customisations of Guile.

I've CC'ed this to the guile-user list as I know one of the core Guile
developers, Andy Wingo cut his teeth working on GNUCash back in the day.

The folks over there should be able to give you, us in LilyPond and
GNUCash a steer as to how we can all play nicely together and behave
properly on your system,

Cheers,
Ian Hulin

P.S. to Graham/bug-squad: how do we handle this sort of issue for
LilyPond, if it looks like it's an interoperability problem between
different GNU projects?
