Problem resolved - I thought I’d dragged-and-dropped the new scheme file into a temporary directory, but it turned out that I’d created an alias in the latter, and left the original in situ.

Much chastened, I shall be more careful to keep my experiments separate from the real world!


I have an Ubuntu 18.04 VM on my Mac, but the most recent version of GnuCash available through the Ubuntu Software Manager is 2.6.19.

Does anyone know if I have to compile from source to get 3.8?

(I’ll also have to work out how my drag-and-drop created an alias)
