bespoke reports and compiling

[Alex]

Hi All

I'm a Linux user.

I've just moved from 2.4.11 to 2.6.6. Now having to address problems 
with my bespoke reports no longer working. I've now got to the stage 
where the reports work with a bit of prompting and starting from the 
command line.

> touch /home/alex/.gnucash/acompany-balsheet-eg.scm
> gnucash

I see these messages on the command line -

> ;;; note: source file /home/alex/.gnucash/acompany-balsheet-eg.scm
> ;;;       newer than compiled 
> /home/alex/.cache/guile/ccache/2.0-LE-4-2.0/home/alex/.gnucash/acompany-balsheet-eg.scm.go
> ;;; note: auto-compilation is enabled, set GUILE_AUTO_COMPILE=0
> ;;;       or pass the --no-auto-compile argument to disable.

> /home/alex/.cache/guile/ccache/2.0-LE-4-2.0/home/alex/.gnucash/acompany-balsheet-eg.scm.go


gnucash starts successfully and I can find the report in the Reports 
menu and use it. If I then close gnucash and restart from the command line

> gnucash

I get no messages on the command line.
I get a message box pop up with

"Report Failed! One of your previously opened reports has failed to 
open. The template on which it was based: acompany Balance Sheet 
(eguile), was not found."

gnucash starts successfully but the report cannot be found in the 
Reports menu.


If I then close gnucash and restart doing

> touch /home/alex/.gnucash/acompany-balsheet-eg.scm
> gnucash
I can see and then use the report again.

It would appear to use the report successfully I have to touch the 
report's source file each time so that it gets recompiled.

I've searched the web for a solution without success. Do I need to 
export a variable containing  path or flag?

Has anyone got any suggestions?
