[Denemo-devel] [bug #24424] install on Win XP / denemo does not display any screen

[anonymous]

Follow-up Comment #5, bug #24424 (project denemo):

I've encountered a similar problem with Denemo 0.8.0FIX (which I downloaded
from http://www.rshann.plus.com/denemo.exe as linked from the Denemo
homepage.)  I had a command-line window open before running the Denemo
installer.  When attempting to chdir into my Denemo installation's bin/
directory to run denemo.exe, I first received a GTK+ pop-up that said "some
icons will not display correctly, but program will work ok."  And then Denemo
dumped the following text to the console before erroring out:

        ** (denemo.exe:1660): WARNING **: Could not load specified pixbuf:
        Unable to load image-loading module:

        Calling scm boot guile with 1 and 003E4AF8
        ERROR: In procedure primitive-load-path:
        ERROR: Unable to find file "ice-9/boot-9.scm" in load path

A web search showed that this error message was actually coming from
LilyPond.  It seems that the Denemo installer sets a Windows user variable
called GUILE_LOAD_PATH to (the absolute path to) your Denemo installation's
share/guile directory.  As soon as I set this variable by hand in the
command-line window, Denemo started up successfully, though it still displayed
the pop-up.

I'm sure that I wouldn't have noticed the problem if I had double-clicked on
a Denemo icon on the desktop.  But still, it would be nice if Denemo did not
depend on this environment variable.
