I'm running Debian woody, have no problem starting the program. I
used the command menu (Utilities | Debian | Gnucash) under KDE. I
know this doesn't solve your problem, but at least it's information :)
Debian packages are pretty much supposed to work, so you might
considering filing a debian bug report, using reportbug or some
similar tool. Here's the dependency information it gives me for my

Wow! That's a lot of dependencies!
By the way, thanks to the developers. It looks very nice.
By the way, I notice the stand-alone html help is available only in
French. Is there any particular reason for that?
