I giveup, I don't know.  Maybe someone on te list can help.
You should remind the list what version of redhat/whatever you have
isntalled, and what version of gnucash.

Subject: Re: Gnucash libguile error


Hi Linas,

I have searched rpmfind, google, alta vista, lycos .. .. ... and this is the ONLY thing (below) I could find mentioning
libqthreads. 

The libqthreads that I do have came from guile 1.4-50 which is the most recent version I can find, but as you know 
they are no where close to so.9.0.0 that gnucash requires.

BTW, when I looked again at the rpm where I got gnucash, it didn't mention anything about libqthreads. I found each 
required file (in the list) in my /lib  ; /usr/lib or /usr/X11R6/lib directory. 

I'm getting a bit freaked out an all the libxxx stuff. whew. some with the same name have different things, some replace things, I
don't know what should be and should not be in my /lib directories.  I have a couple other programs that don't do what they should but
report no problems, they just dont work. (gnp for one, gnome notepad, I think) just stops. I tried using ltrace on some but I haven't
gotten the hang of that yet. - oh well, thanks for listening to me unwind.
