Gnucash Segmentation Fault

[Nathan Buchanan]

Hi Charles!

First off, I'd like to say I not by far an expert on this, but I thought I'd
mention a few things in case you have not already done them.

1. What has changed on your machine over the past week or so (just before
you ran into problems)? Did Sun patches get applied maybe?
2. Take a backup of the Gnucash data files for sanity's sake. I don't see
any reason that they would get messed up, but it's good to have a copy if
things go bad.
3. Try removing the Gnucash package and re-installing it. If some patch
messed things up, a re-install may be all that's needed.

Beyond that, I'm not sure. Sorry.

Nathan
