New installation question on GnuCash 2.0.4

[Derek Atkins]

Hi,

Are you running it as root?  This error means that gnucash is
trying to open the data file /root/test_gnucash which you
don't have access to.

Assuming you're running it on your own and not as root, I'd
suggest you either run "gnucash --nofile" or
"gnucash /path/to/your/datafile".
