Slow startup on FreeBSD 7.1 + main: binreloc relocation support was diabled at configuration time

[Antonio Rieser]

Thanks for the note.  Do you get the same error message as I do if you start
GnuCash from the command line?  i.e.

gnc.bin-Message: main: binreloc relocation support was diabled at
configuration time.

All the best,

  Tony
