[GNC] previous issue with gnucash-cli on macOS

[John Ralls]

You’d think so. Whoever wrote Apple’s dlopen apparently disagrees.

You’ll just have to learn to spell the directory name correctly, with a capital M. It might help to get in the habit of using shell completion to complete the path: Type “/A<tab>Gnu<tab><tab>M<tab>gnu<tab>”. “<tab>” means press the tab key. If you try to use a lower case m nothing will happen, reminding you to use M instead.
