It's a strange error.  "Unbound variable" is lisp for "I've never been
told what 'gnc:report-menu-setup' is."  It's "unbound variable" and not
more specifically "undefined function" because a function name is, in
many respects, just a variable for an anonymous function. [e.g., "var
gnc:report-menu-setup = function() { ... }" or such in
pseudo-javascript...]

In any case, this generally points to the scheme files that gnucash uses
either not being installed correctly, or not being loaded correctly at
loadtime.  It's hard to say more specifically... so I ask again:
