A BIG Thanks to all who responded with clues or solutions ... r Geert, QUITE RIGHT about the broken -lotto. I now have it working. "Who would have that the only place it did not work was where the doc said it should be ...).
I finally successfully loaded up to "about" where it died. I am proceeding to check the Quicken QIF and work my way slowly "over" the bug - either in Quicken output or gnucash input. The import seemed to do, on the surface, the 3 years I imported mostly the correct things ... will verify and report, if anyone is interested, the things that failed. CURRENTLY: I still have these messages to the CONSOLE if run in a command window. These "seem" to be harmless bugs "so far", but someone might like to know about them: Gtk-Message: 11:47:04.747: Failed to load module "appmenu-gtk-module" Gtk-Message: 11:47:05.351: Failed to load module "canberra-gtk-module" Gtk-Message: 11:47:05.418: Failed to load module "canberra-gtk-module" Found Finance::Quote version 1.49. LOTS OF THESE: (gnucash:2): Gtk-WARNING **: 11:50:59.099: Negative content width -2147483648 (allocation -2147483648, extents 0x0) while allocating gadget (node progress, owner GtkProgressBar) (gnucash:2): Gtk-WARNING **: 11:50:59.099: Drawing a gadget with negative dimensions.
