Thanks for those details. I do have libgtk-3 installed, version 3.18.9. I believe I've had it installed since I built GnuCash; Linux Mint 18.3 appears to have come with gtklib 3.18. Also, I assume most of GnuCash wouldn't work if libgtk runtime wasn't installed from the get-go. I built it (GnuCash 3.6) on LInux Mint 18.3 a year and a half ago.

Marcus,

Those errors in the tracefile tends to suggest a problem with the GTK
library at runtime. Have you recently upgraded from a  2.x version of
GnuCash to the  3.6 version? The GTK dependencies changed at that
transition. (https://wiki.gnucash.org/wiki/Dependencies - i need to upgrade
this for V4).  You only need the development headers to build GnuCash but
the runtime libraries will need to be installed as well when you run
GnuCash.

Try "dpkg -l | grep libgtk"   in a terminal. This will list the installed
GTK libraries. You should see at least the following in some version

libgtk-3-0
libgtk-3-bin
libgtk-3-common
libgtk-3-dev       -  required for build

for gtk 3  and the version number should be  > 3.14.0  for GnuCash v3.6 (I
currently have 3.24.20  on LM 20.3)
and you will likely have

libgtk2.0-0
libgtk2.0-bin
libgtk2.0-common

for GTK 2.    GnuCash3.x does not use GTK2 (but other installed programs may
and they operate independently).

If this is not the problem we may need help from John Geert or Derek.
