Hi, I recently installed GnuCash 2.2.7, guile 1.8.5, slib 3a4, and libtool 1.5.26, libltdl ? (all the latest ports cvsup) on FreeBSD 7.1 on an Acer Aspire 1680 (laptop). When I start gnucash, it then takes a VERY long time (~2 minutes) before I see the gnucash tip of the day and intro image. The tip of the day then takes another ~1 minute before it will respond to a mouse-click. If I remove my network connection, it takes an as yet undetermined amount of time to start (>6 minutes). After a little googling, it seems that slow startup was a known problem on earlier versions of FreeBSD, but one which should have been fixed with the patches that came with the port. When I run tross -o gnucash_startup gnucash cat gnucash_startup | grep ERR with the network attached, I see that gnucash runs through a list of directories several times (around 30), looking for the files libswigrun.so, libswigrun.la, swigrun, and swigrun.scm, none of which exist on my system according to locate (with a new locate.database). Could this be the source of my problem? Any help would be heartily appreciated. Thanks, Tony
