I was wrong, a reboot has not fixed it, I was confused, a not uncommon occurrence. The only way I can get it to run is by setting LD_LIBRARY_PATH. On my working machine, which is Ubuntu 11.10 and has had gnucash installed from the Ubuntu repository as well as manual builds, I do not need to do this, and cannot work out how it manages to find the library on that machine. Any suggestions? Otherwise I will just set LD_LIBRARY_PATH and forget it.
