Following the wiki procedure; I set LANG to en_US; it
had been C.
If I execute gnucash from the command line with the
name of the data file as an argument I get 
Segmentation fault

If I just execute gnucash, then my file comes up; then
if I go to select the Custom report Profit/Loss, I get
the Segmentation fault.

That's it.  Doesn't seem to give a lot of clues to me.
 Hope it means something to you.
