Hi David,
This is definitely a crasher bug that unfortunately managed to slip passed our
testing. I am surprised the warning only happens when installing gnucash, not
while building it. Likewise you can run GnuCash just fine from the build
directory but not from the install path.
I'll push a fix but unfortunately this probably means we need to do a hotfix
release (4.7.1). I'll let John decide.
I have attached a patch. Can you try to apply this to your tarball and see if
t hat fixes the problem ? It does for me.
Regards,
Geert
