Importing OFX/QFX files not working

By "printed on my terminal" do you mean on the terminal that started
gnucash?  No terminal.  I call it from the SUSE menu.  I'll crank it up by
hand from a terminal and see.

OK, I get some gtk errors when it starts up,
/home/jwl/.kde/share/config/gtkrc:37: error: unexpected identifier
`gtk-alternative-button-order', expected keyword - e.g. `style'
/home/jwl/.kde/share/config/gtkrc:37: error: unexpected identifier

-adobe-helvetica-bold-r-normal--14-140-75-75-p-82-iso10646-1 --> 0x8263748
Then I get:
LibOFX ERROR: ofx_proc_file():No input file specified
(Above message occured on Line 4294967295, Column 4294967295)
LibOFX ERROR: ofx_proc_file():No input file specified
(Above message occured on Line 4294967295, Column 4294967295)
I tried it twice.  Once I used the browser window to select the file, the
second time I typed the full path name into the window and pressed Open.

Do I have something configured wrong?  I don't see any import configuration
anywhere.

Thanks again,
Jim.


This is my first attempt to import a file of any kind.
Ofxdump gives me many lines, I'll include a few here
