[GNC] MacOS - could not complete critical test of libdbi

[km22]

I have downloaded DB Browser for Sqlite and have been trying different combinations of opening the file and remounting the drive and/or rebooting the system.  As best as I can tell, after I open and close the file in Gnucash once, I cannot then re-open it with Gnucash nor DBBrowser.  It seems the first time I open the file in Gnucash causes there to be a lock.  I need to reboot the machine to open it again.  I’ll experiment more but any ideas are welcome.

Thanks,
Ken
