[GNC] Gnucash 3.3 suddenly crashing on Ubuntu

[Geert Janssens]

Colin,

gnc-build-userdata-path is defined in libgnc-core-utils.so, a shared library 
part of gnucash. This particular symbol was introduced for gnucash 3.x or 
shortly before that in the 2.7 development series to be precise.

The error suggests this shared library is not found or more likely gnucash 
finds an older version of this library. Can you check if you have more than 
one version of libgnc-core-utils.so somewhere on your system ?

Most likely locations are somewhere under /usr/lib or /usr/local/lib.

Regards,

Geert
