Thanks. No luck so far. This system did have 2.2.9 installed using
Synaptic; I did a "complete removal" before I started this build.
Following your suggestion I tried:
(a)
env LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/local/lib/
(b)
./configure --enable-dbi --with-qof=/usr/local/lib
"env LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/local/lib/" is a no-op. To change your
environment for the duration of a shell session, use export(1).
Completely overriding an important path variable is unwise unless you
really know what you're doing, so something like "export
LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/local/lib:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH" is safer.
The --with-qof= argument to gnucash's configure is used to tell gnucash
to build with an external qof library (see
https://alioth.debian.org/projects/qof/, ignoring the stupid certificate
warning if your browser presents one) instead of the built-in one that
gnucash provides. It doesn't have any effect on the runtime behavior.
No need to rebuild. Try this:
LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/local/lib:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH /usr/local/bin/gnucash
If that still doesn't work, please post the output of
ldd /usr/local/bin/gnucash

Excellent! This worked:
LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/local/lib:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH /usr/local/bin/gnucash
Thanks again.
My plan is (a) to play with this one until 2.4 comes out and report what I
find, if I find anything; (b) poke around the code and think about trying
to generate code for some bug or enhancement, starting as small as
possible. I can code in c, although I'm no guru; I've done some Tkinter
coding in Python, so I have I think the basic idea of how GTK+ is supposed
to work (and I do have the tutorial). I have done a little work in Lisp,
and Scheme looks doable, but it would be a much bigger step.
Cheers,
Tony
