[GNC-dev] GnuCash 4.7 Released

David,

The problem is that schemes.compiled doesn't have the new org.gnucash.GnuCash paths. Or rather didn't, because running glib-compile-schemas again should have added that and you should now be able to run GnuCash. Can you check that?

Geert and I were working with another user on IRC this afternoon (well, my afternoon). That user used make and I just tested and found that make produced the result you get while ninja produced the result I get. But you say you're using ninja so so much for that hypothesis.

Regards,
John Ralls
