Gnucash startup and gnucash2-docs

[Andrew Hartung-2]

I have this in the X11 menu to start gnucash:  .sw/bin/init.sh ; gnucash

Occasionally this works fine, however most of the time I get two dialog boxes from gnucash stating:

First:

"An error occurred while loading or saving configuration information for gnucash. Some of your configuration settings may not work properly."

This box has details and ok buttons, neither which respond. 

Under that box is:

"Cannot find default values"

"The configuration data used to specify default values for gnucash cannot be found in the default system locations. Without this data gnucash will still operate properly but it may require some extra time to setup. Do you wish to setup the configuration data?"

Options are quit, skip, or setup.

When I get the dialogs as stated above, I hit quit and start from the terminal. I get the first two lines at start up and the rest after quitting gnucash:

gnc.bin-Message: main: binreloc relocation support was disabled at configure time.

Found Finance::Quote version 1.17

gwenhywfar-INFO: plugin.c:  584: Plugin type "ct" unregistered

gwenhywfar-INFO: plugin.c:  584: Plugin type "configmgr" unregistered

gwenhywfar-INFO: plugin.c:  584: Plugin type "dbio" unregistered

I had this problem or one very similar after I installed 10.6 and did a complete reinstall(deleted /sw, installed 64 bit) of fink, and the list told me to change the command for the application menu of X11 as above and it worked fine for a while. I don't know when I started having problems again, whether it was after a gnucash upgrade or upgrading to 10.6.1.

The program runs fine when started this way, but the inconsistent behavior is odd.

A separate item is when I try to install gnucash2-docs I get:

Can't resolve dependency "firefox2-shlibs (>= 2.0.0.20-4)" for package "yelp-viewer-firefox-2.26.0-2" (no matching

packages/versions found)

Exiting with failure.

 

firefox2-shlibs isn't listed as a package when I do "fink list firefox".

Package manager version: 0.29.10

Distribution version: selfupdate-rsync Mon Nov  9 08:02:16 2009, 10.6, x86_64

Is this just something I need to wait for because of all of the issues and work with the 10.6 and d64 bit transition? (BTW thanks to all for the hard work you've done!)

Thank You,

Andrew Hartung

Not

. /sw/bin/init.sh ; gnucash

?

If you're not actually reading /sw/bin/init.sh, which the syntax you've
pasted up would indicated, then that would probably explain your issue,
since it sounds like it works fine from Terminal.app.

Harmless.  As it says, our gnucash2 was built without binary relocation
support.

These are normal shutdown messages.

The 10.6/unstable tree is still in flux, and not all of the dependencies
have been worked out yet.

I'm not quite sure what you are saying here. Should it read:

.[space]/sw/bin/ini.....

or    ./sw/bin/.....

That's what I figured, but thought I'd check just in case.

Literally what I posted:

        .[space]/sw/bin/init.sh

Or you can use

        source /sw/bin/init.sh

since bash supports 'source' now as an alternative.

I tried both of those and still have the same problem.

source /sw/bin/init.sh ; gnucash  right?

Restarted both X and the system to be sure, but no go.
