Comment 4 José Jorge 2012-03-12 09:35:42 CET

I took maintainership of gnucash because I use it. Seeing this bug, and after trying to fix it, I understood scheme is not for me, so I set nobody again as maintainer.

Sorry, I hope Funda has time to watch it.

Would you mind reporting it upstream at:
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/enter_bug.cgi?product=GnuCash

And, cc/me, fundawang@gmail.com?

Comment 6 Funda Wang 2012-03-12 10:32:34 CET

Please try gnucash-2.4.10-2.mga2. If it works, I'll try another way to deal with this problem.

Other than addresses, looks about the same except better missing file name.

Comment 9 Funda Wang 2012-03-12 15:23:38 CET

I think libgnucash0-2.4.10-5.mga2 should fix the problem.

Does gnucash-2.4.10-7.mga2 look better?

Comment 12 Bit Twister 2012-03-12 20:12:22 CET

Well, yes and no.

Yes, it finally brings up a screen. No idea if working right. Second launch gave errors about database.

When I started it first time, I thought it was caught in a tight loop.
Had to start over.
\rm -r .gnucash
\rm -r .cache/
Did a  script -c "gnucash " gnu.bug4
and gnu.bug4 has
$ wc -l gnu.bug4
7544 gnu.bug4

I think you will need to install and run gnucash in a test account and play with it from there until you get a clean launch. I'll then see how it works on my 5 years of data.  :)

By the way. Thank you for your time and efforts. 
This is a Megeia showstopper for me.

I'm getting the same problem. (x86-64, KDE-4, Mageia 2/Cauldron).

Should be fixed in latest gnucash, try installing guile1.8
