[GNC] reports not rendering

[Mark Sattolo]

A few days ago I upgraded from Linux Mint 20.3 Una (based on Ubuntu focal)
to 21 Vanessa (based on Ubuntu jammy). So I had to rebuild my Gnucash, and
used the 5.8 release code. The guile-3.0-dev lib was missing from my system
at first, but once I got that, the build seemed to have no problems at all.
All my accounts work fine. But then today I noticed that reports do not
render at all in the Gnucash window. Completely blank. The information is
there because I can print or export the reports and see everything in pdf
or html exactly as I expect, but nothing I have tried so far has made
any difference to the rendering in the gui.

Thought maybe it was a problem with my saved reports or custom stylesheets,
so I tried just printing a default 'Balance Sheet' from "Reports -> Assets
& Liabilities", but it is blank too.

In case this was a problem that has been fixed by now, I built a new
gnucash from the 'stable' release of a couple hours ago, with just the
default settings, but exact same problem.
Nothing from the build of either of the 5.8 executables seems to indicate
any serious problem...

I can see the discussion in the documentation about issues with report
rendering, but can there be a missing lib in the build now, but that
doesn't generate any warning or error message even though it is necessary
to render reports?

So, is this a known issue? Any solution? Any ideas?

thanks,
