Problems running GnuCash 1.9.0 on kubuntu 5.10

[Derek Atkins]

Hi,

You need to install the guile-g-wrap package.  See:

Quoting Aaron Larson <Aaron at larsonsonline.net>:

> I've been a very happy user of gnucash now for several years, and with

> tester, but I'm having trouble running my newly build version:
>
> I'm using Kubuntu 5.10 (pretty fresh install), and installed the 1.9
> source tarball, and using the package manager downloaded all the
> dependencies to build gnucash (this is my first attempt).  It went
> better than "nightmare" with the only interesting case being the
> missing g-wrap-wct.h file as described in
> http://blog.moria.org.uk/computers/code/g-wrap
>
> I created the file as described in that message, and 1.9 builds:
>
>  ./configure --prefix=/tmp/gnucash/
>  make
>  make install
>
> I created a new user and ran gnucash in that user's home directory.
> gnucash popped up a dialog indicating that the configuration files
> were not in their expected location and offered to do the setup for
> me.  I selected all default options.  1.9 then died with:
>
>  <unnamed port>: In procedure scm-error in expression (scm-error 
> (quote misc-error) #f ...):
>  <unnamed port>: no code for module (g-wrap gw standard)
>
> I've found lots of references to this sort of error, but all about
> building, not running.  Note that GnuCash 1.8.10 is also installed on
> this machine.  I can get a fresh machine without gnucash installed and
> rebuild if that is necessary, or provide additional details of machine
> configuration, etc.

> Like I said above, I was hoping to be helpful, so, only respond if
> it seems worth your while.  I can certainly wait for a packaged
> distro.
