When I try to "emerge -u world", Gentoo tries to update gnucash to 1.8.9. This failes, however, already during configuration: checking for sin in -lm... yes checking for main in -lrx... no checking for qt_null in -lqt... no checking for dlopen in -ldl... (cached) yes checking for t_accept in -lnsl... no checking for socket in -lsocket... no checking whether guile works... yes checking for guile... /usr/bin/guile checking for guile - 1.3.4 <= version < 99.99.99... no configure: warning: guile version check failed configure: error: guile does not appear to be installed correctly, or is not in the correct version range.

I solved the problem. It boiled down to guile. Appearently I had (somehow) 2 concurrent versions of guile installed, a 1.4.x and the latest one (1.6.4). This did the trick: # emerge unmerge guile # emerge guile Now it works! Marking this one as resolved.
