tried moving icon from within Finder window to Dock. didn't work.

moved Gnucash icon onto desktop.
clicked icon. still cannot open after 'verification'

opened Applications/Utilities/Terminal.
typed in /Applications/Gnucash.app/Contents/MacOS/Gnucash

now what do i do?

'copy any output after that and paste it into a reply.' what does this mean?
