The only thing that's on stdout is "Found Finance::Quote version 1.18" and that's been there forever; i.e. this was also there when I still could start gnucash in the background. Nothing else is going to the terminal (to make sure, I just re-tried with redirecting stdout and stderr). Also, usually backgrounding a process doesn't cause issues with output, it's just written anyway. For example "cat filename &" works fine. So I'm confused why this stops the startup in this case. > > The worse problem I have is when I try to run a graphical report (e.g. > > Income & Expense / Expense barchart) I get a segfault: > > > > zsh: segmentation fault (core dumped) gnucash > > > > The backtrace is not very helpful, even when compiled with '-g -O0': > > (gdb) bt > > #0 0x00007f7f87800a0c in ??

Can you tell me more about how displaying the graphs is supposed to work? gnucash creates a javascript file and then does what to display it? I understand you're saying that it's not a gnucash problem, so perhaps we can separate it from gnucash. Though I do get a gnucash.core file.
