Description of Problem: Gnucash no longer starts Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): gnucash-1.6.8-2 current rawhide packages How Reproducible: 100% Steps to Reproduce: 1. gnucash Actual Results: It appears you do not have the 'slib' scheme library installed. You need slib2c4 or later to run GnuCash. Obtain slib at: http://swissnet.ai.mit.edu/~jaffer/SLIB.html If you have slib installed, you may need to create a symbolic link named 'slib' from the guile directory (usually /usr/share/guile) to the directory where slib is installed. You may also need to run GnuCash once as root. Expected Results: You shouldn't need to run gnucash once as root, surely?! Additional Information: (Running it as root once does indeed allow it to start as normal again.)
Yeah, it's some bizarre slib/scheme initialization issue. I'll have to look up what the fix is, and which package it goes in.
I think this will be fixed with 1.7.5-1.
Tim, does this work for you now?
Yes.
