[Nix-dev] Re: Guile load path?

[Peter Simons]

Hi Ludovic,

I apologize if this article ends up being delivered twice to this list.
I'm sending it again because I have the impression that my first attempt
to post was blocked by GMANE because the attachments were too large.

Anyway, I noticed that the SLIB build has several (non-fatal) errors
while building the catalogs:

 | building catalogs
 | if type scm; then scm -c "(require 'new-catalog)"; fi
 | /bin/sh: line 0: type: scm: not found
 | if type guile; then guile -l guile.init -c\

I'm not sure what is going on, but maybe that is related to the problem?

The relevant part of config.log from GnuCash looks like this:
