Error in launching GnuCash from terminal

[Rakesh]

Hi

I am  using 2.6.4 version of GnuCash.
The output of apt-cache policy is as follows:
rs at dhcppc0:~$ apt-cache policy gnucash
gnucash:
  Installed: 1:2.6.4-3
  Candidate: 1:2.6.4-3
  Version table:
 *** 1:2.6.4-3 0
        500 http://ftp.nl.debian.org/debian/ jessie/main i386 Packages
        100 /var/lib/dpkg/status

---------- Thanks for taking up this thread.
