Gnucash: command not found

[Des Dougan]

If the executable is not in the command execution path, you will need  
to explicitly point to the folder it lives in.

I run a shell script to initiate GnuCash (on Leopard):

#!/bin/sh
#
# Run GnuCash
cd /Users/des/Documents/GnuCash
LC_MONETARY=en_CA /sw/bin/gnucash

This changes directory to the folder where I store the GnuCash data  
file, then sets the environment variable so that GnuCash uses Canadian  
dollars and runs the program itself. The last two commands are on the  
same line so that the executable picks up the variable setting.

I have this script in my Documents folder and created a Dock icon to  
run it from.


HTH,

Des
