Excellent! This worked:
LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/local/lib:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH /usr/local/bin/gnucash
Thanks again.
My plan is (a) to play with this one until 2.4 comes out and report what I
find, if I find anything; (b) poke around the code and think about trying
to generate code for some bug or enhancement, starting as small as
possible. I can code in c, although I'm no guru; I've done some Tkinter
coding in Python, so I have I think the basic idea of how GTK+ is supposed
to work (and I do have the tutorial). I have done a little work in Lisp,
and Scheme looks doable, but it would be a much bigger step.
Cheers,
Tony
