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

[Antonio Rieser]

When I run

tross -o gnucash_startup gnucash
cat gnucash_startup | grep ERR

I see that gnucash runs through a list of directories several times (around
30), looking for the files libswigrun.so, libswigrun.la, swigrun, and
swigrun.scm, none of which exist on my system according to locate (with a
new locate.database).  Could this be the source of my problem?

Thanks,

  Tony
