 Rob> I am running a debian unstable machine.  I can provide dpkg -l |

 Rob> I start gnucash, and three windows pop up, the splash screen,
 Rob> centered, the "Welcome..." window, and the "tip of the day"
 Rob> window.  I wait for the splash screen to time out.  I now have
 Rob> the tip and welcome windows.

 Rob> Bug #1.  I click on "Close" on the tip window, and nothing
 Rob> happens.
 Rob>          I click the 'x' wm button (KDE 2.x) in the upper right
 Rob>          corner of the window, nothing happens.  If I choose
 Rob>          'tutorial' in the welcome window, and click OK, I can
 Rob>          close the tip window.

 Rob> At this point, I have chosen tutorial and closed the tip of the
 Rob> day window. I now have one window titled "gnucash help", and one
 Rob> titled "accounts - gnucash (<no file>)".  Because of what the
 Rob> tutorial told me to do, on the accounts window, I click on file,
 Rob> new file, and I get a new window, the "new account hierarchy
 Rob> setup" window.  I click next one time, and get to the USDollar
 Rob> decision.

 Rob> Bug #2.  Since I use the USDollar, I make no changes, just click
 Rob> on
 Rob>          Next, and get the following error.

 Rob> gnucash: error while loading shared libraries: gnucash:
 Rob> undefined symbol: stat

 Rob> and it all crashes away.  For reproduction purposes, If you
 Rob> don't get the welcome dialog box, you may need to move your
 Rob> .gnucash directory out of the way.  I had to do that one time.

Whoa.  That's messed up.  Can you send me an strace of it doing this?
(Please just to me not the mailing list.)  If it was going to not find
a symbol it should have not found it long before now.

Thanks
Jim
