gnucash won't open

[Harold]

OK. I installed gdb and ran the suggestions and have attached the output for those commands. Probably a lot of stuff in the file that is not needed but I thought I should edit it since I am not that enlightened about what is there.

The output means you don't have gdb installed.  You should install gdb
