Gnucash Segfaults

[Geert Janssens]

Hmm, you should not be copying files around like that. That makes everything much harder to 
track.

First question: how do you install gnucash ? I presume using make install ?

What prefix are you using for this ? I strongly suggest using something other than /usr or 
/usr/local. These two paths are special cases for the linker/installer and should only be used by 
package managers. In case your intent it to package gnucash for suse, you can ignore this bit :)

Lastly: libgnc-gnome.so is an internal library for gnucash. It should get installed automatically 
when running make install.

If that's not the case on your system, you should first figure out why that didn't happen.
