Using strace, I managed to find all the libs that were not being
installed properly and installed them manually. Now gnucash starts.
Yeah!

On minor nit: I usually install all my packages in a long directory path
(/usr/local/soft/gnucash/run/default/i686_pc_linux_gnu for example) and
then have links from /usr/local point to the correct files. It usually
works well with most packages but doesn't with gnucash. Anyone know why?
What happens is that gnucash can't register someof the scm file
sproperly, unless I install everything directly into /usr/local.

Thanks,
