From yesterday's errors
* 16:29:33 INFO <gnc.gui > [gnc_load_app_icons] Path 20:
/opt/gnucash/share/gnucash/icons
Suggests that you might also have installed into /opt/gnucash at some point, so look there. You should also check /usr/lib just in case you installed the distro build at some point, and take a look at /etc/ld.so.conf and `echo $LD_PIBRARY_PATH` for other possible locations.
You can always do `find / -name libgnc*.so`, though that will take a while. If you have `locate` installed and you've generated the indexes `locate libgnc*.so` will be considerably faster, but since it has to index the hard disk it will take longer than find would if it's not installed and indexed already.

John Ralls
