I have Slackware 8.1, and I have had problems running gnucash-1.7.6. It
appears now that it arose from a binary incompatibility between gcc-2.95.3
and gcc-3.2.1. I had compiled g-wrap-1.3.4 and gnucash-1.7.6 with gcc-3.2.1
and was running them against the Slackware 8.1 versions of guppi and guile
(which have been compiled with gcc-2.95.3). I solved this by re-compiling
g-wrap and gnucash with gcc-2.95.3 as supplied with Slackware 8.1, and it
works fine. (See a different thread on this mailing list).
Just to see what would happen I managed to reproduce your problem with
g-wrap-1.1.11 and gnucash-1.6.8 by compiling them with gcc-3.2.1. When
compiled with gcc-3.2.1, they give the same error message that you report
above. If compiled with gcc-2.95.3 they work fine.
If you have installed gcc-3.2, try recompiling g-wrap and gnucash with
gcc-2.95.3. They should then work on Slack 8.1.
