[GNC] GC crashing after upgrade

[Ernie Wakamatsu]

Thanks again for your help. It sounds like my best option to get around this crash and inability to commit QIF import changes is to go back a couple of versions and wait for the next stable version of GC for MacOS. 

Hmm, or pull out my old MS laptop …

Best regards 
Ernie

You can build it yourself, there are (possibly out of date) instructions at https://wiki.gnucash.org/wiki/MacOS/Quartz (the way I do it) and https://wiki.gnucash.org/wiki/MacOS/MacPortsDetail (the way Mike Alexander does it). The MacPorts method is more approachable for non-developers. Homebrew isn’t an option, they just package up my release dmgs.
