Umm... what's a register? If you mean account register then no. I don't have any as yet but I'm working on that. I can import a quicken file from my bank and get some sort of stuff on the screen if that helps.

I suspect it's a problem with esd on my system. Extract from truss -f gnucash:

I don't consider this as critical as I can't imagine audio being important in an accounting package. What does it play? Cash register sounds? :)

The only thing printed to stdout is:
bash-2.05$ gnucash
/dev/dsp: No such file or directory
/dev/dsp: No such file or directory
bash-2.05$


Contents of trace file is below after opening edit/preferences and crashing. I obviously have a few problems here to look at.
