How did you do the update? On FreeBSD, it matters a lot how you do this. It
is really easy to get yourself into trouble with ports if you don't know
what you are doing (I'm speaking generically, not about you, so please don't
take offense). And have you run libchk? You may have an unresolved reference
to a shared library. If you don't find such a reference, my suggestion would
be to update /usr/ports with cvsup as described in the handbook and then run
portmaster gnucash (having first installed portmaster if you haven't already
done so) to update gnucash and everything it depends on.
