Greetings,

Where is it ?

$ locate libgladeConf.sh

If libgladeConf.sh is in /usr/lib and there isn't one in
/opt/gnome/lib try creating a link

$ ln -s /usr/lib/libgladeConf.sh /opt/gnome/lib/libgladeConf.sh

Some stuff is being moved around in slack 8.1

There will probably be more like that.  I had to upgrade quite
a few packages to get gnucash to compile.  Should have made notes.
