Starts right up for me on both of my Macs, both running 10.13. One of them probably doesn’t count because it’s the machine that GnuCash is built on, but the other doesn’t have a Gnucash-2.6 build tree on it.

GnuCash.app, like every other Mac app, is really a directory tree with most everything the app needs inside. You can see what’s inside by control-clicking on it in Finder and selection “Show Contents” from the context menu.

So, what’s going wrong? What have you tried to resolve it?
