I have Slackware 8.1, and I have had problems running gnucash-1.7.6.  It 
appears now that it arose from a binary incompatibility between gcc-2.95.3 
and gcc-3.2.1.  I had compiled g-wrap-1.3.4 and gnucash-1.7.6 with gcc-3.2.1 
and was running them against the Slackware 8.1 versions of guppi and guile 
(which have been compiled with gcc-2.95.3).  I solved this by re-compiling 
g-wrap and gnucash with gcc-2.95.3 as supplied with Slackware 8.1, and it 
works fine.  (See a different thread on this mailing list).

Just to see what would happen I managed to reproduce your problem with 
g-wrap-1.1.11 and gnucash-1.6.8 by compiling them with gcc-3.2.1.  When 
compiled with gcc-3.2.1, they give the same error message that you report 
above.  If compiled with gcc-2.95.3 they work fine.

If you have installed gcc-3.2, try recompiling g-wrap and gnucash with 
gcc-2.95.3.  They should then work on Slack 8.1.
