gnucash 1.8.1 - Main Window Options Causes Crash on Apply or OK

[Budman]

Hi,

I downloaded the new version 1.8.1.  Updated all the dependencies.
g-wrap 1.3.4
guile 1.6.3
guppi 0.40.3
slib 2d5
No problem so far....  The make was successful.

Then when I try to run gnucash as a user, I get the following:

budman $ gnucash
ERROR: In procedure open-file:
ERROR: No such file or directory: "/usr/share/guile/1.6/slib/mklibcat"

Here is the permissions to the slibcat file:
budman $ ls -l /usr/share/guile/1.6/slibcat 
-rw-r--r--    1 root     root         6986 Feb 21 18:57

Here is the strace:

=============================
Then I ran it as root, at first complained about invalid argument, then
I exported the DISPLAY variable.  gnucash ran fine this time.

=============================
Then I ran as user - now gnucash ran! :)  Is there something that needs
to be created somewhere that the user may not have access too?  

===============
Now for the crashing part...  When I click on Options from the Main
Window to hide all accounts except Bank and Credit, when I click Apply
or OK,  gnucash crashes with: 
    ERROR: missing or extra expression

I checked over the configs, and renamed the older .gnucash directory,
just in case.
Tried again, same failure.  I then checked the older config files and
notices the Main Window section.  So I added it to the config-1.8.auto
file.  No difference, gnucash ignored the settings.

Note: Before I could add it to the config file, I noticed the file did
not exist. I then tried forcing a create by going into preferences,
changing some items, and then clicking OK.  I noticed the config file
had still not been created.  When I exited gnucash... then the config
file appeared.  Shouldn't the prefs be saved before exiting gnucash? 
Because if gnucash crashes, any changes made are lost.

Is there anything I can do to get the viewed accts displaying properly?


Thanks.
Regards,
Rich
