Here's what the system thinks it has: chris@PECTOPAH<102> pkg_info -c gnucash'*' Information for gnucash-1.8.4: Comment: Quicken-like money and finance manager Information for gnucash-docs-1.8.1: Comment: Documentation for gnucash I'm a gnucash newbie (used it a bit a year back but haven't since) but a longtime FreeBSD and UNIX guy; I plead ignorance to all things Gnome :-(. Here are some major problems I've just noticed trying to use it. First, I removed old cruft from my long-ago runs so I can work the druid (which didn't exist back then). 0. First it takes over a minute to startup, with top showing guile consuming lots of CPU and memory? This on a 1.8GHz box with 700MB RAM, tho I am using it across the LAN with X11. 1. I follow the pop-up tip and click Help to check the Tutorial. Screen gets blown away, program dies. The terminal I started from says: Fatal error 'Unable to read from thread kernel pipe' at line 1100 in file /usr/src/lib/libc_r/uthread/uthread_kern.c (errno = 0) Abort 2. I run gnucash again and do NOT ask for help. I start creating some simple accounts and populating from my checkbook. Periodically, the xterm I started it from complains (non-fatally): Error: xaccOpenLog(): cannot open journal 13 Permission denied It does NOT tell me what file it's trying to open so I can't check permissions and such. I'm running it from my homedir so don't expect there should be a problem. I cross my fingers and do a SaveAs; it does save the file. 3. Now I've forgotten what button I clicked but I think it was a Print (very sorry here, lost track). Again the program died and disappeared, again reporting on the xterm: Fatal error 'Unable to read from thread kernel pipe' at line 1100 in file /usr/src/lib/libc_r/uthread/uthread_kern.c (errno = 0) Abort Any clues what might be causing this? How I could track down what it's trying to do that fail so quickly? I'm trying a "truss gnucash" right now -- the splash screen hasn't come up yet -- and most of the lines I see are reporting "ERR#2 'No such file or directory'", like: open("/usr/X11R6/lib/gnucash/libXpm.la",0x0,0666) ERR#2 'No such file or directory' open("/usr/X11R6/lib/libXpm.la",0x0,0666) ERR#2 'No such file or directory' open("/usr/X11R6/lib/gnucash/libXpm.la",0x0,0666) ERR#2 'No such file or directory' open("/usr/local/lib/libXpm.la",0x0,0666) ERR#2 'No such file or directory' open("/usr/X11R6/lib/gnucash/libXpm.la",0x0,0666) ERR#2 'No such file or directory' open("/usr/X11R6/lib/libXpm.la",0x0,0666) ERR#2 'No such file or directory' open("/usr/X11R6/lib/gnucash/libXpm.la",0x0,0666) ERR#2 'No such file or directory' open("/usr/local/lib/libXpm.la",0x0,0666) ERR#2 'No such file or directory' open("/lib/libXpm.la",0x0,0666) ERR#2 'No such file or directory' open("/usr/lib/libXpm.la",0x0,0666) ERR#2 'No such file or directory' open("libXpm.la",0x0,0666) ERR#2 'No such file or directory' access("/usr/X11R6/lib/gnucash/libXpm.so",4) ERR#2 'No such file or directory' access("/usr/X11R6/lib/libXpm.so",4) = 0 (0x0) Let me know what I should be looking for. I like the functionality I see from gnucash a lot but with the level of instability I see I'm very worried about getting dependent on it. I don't want to lose a whole bunch of data-entry time, or worse. Thanks for all your help.
