Please specify what operating system you are running and how you installed GnuCash. (For example, what distro of Linux or version Windows or MacOS you run, and whether you compiled GnuCash, installed it using the operating system's software repository, or downloaded it from a website.) Also please confirm that you are not seeing this message popping up on the screen somewhere, but instead it's a console message appearing on a terminal. I believe the message is an artifact of the version of Guile on your operating system plus a file that ships with GnuCash that relies on a deprecated, but not inactivated, feature. I feel certain GnuCash developers will be watching it, because you're not the only one who sees this message. HOWEVER most of us launch GnuCash using a GNOME or KDE launcher (or by clicking on the book file) and the desktop doesn't usually show us console messages. When I launch GnuCash 5.9 Flatpak on Ubuntu 24.04 using a launcher or double-clicking a .gnucash file, I don't see any error messages. When I launch GnuCash 5.9 Flatpak IN A TERMINAL I see MANY error messages saying "note: source file /app/share/guile/2.2/xxxx newer than compiled /app/share/guile/2.2/xxxx." After dozens of "source file ... newer than compiled" messages, the last message that appears is the "deprecated features" error message you mentioned. Fortunately none of these errors indicate a problem with the proper functioning of GnuCash. SO to reiterate -- I believe this is not caused by anything you did, but is an artifact of GnuCash running under a particular version of Guile. Eventually the files will be updated when Guile drops support for the feature entirely, but for now I believe it is just an irritating message you can safely ignore. > ----- > Please remember to CC this list on all your replies. > You can do this by using Reply-To-List or Reply-All. > _______________________________________________ gnucash-user mailing list gnucash-user@gnucash.org To update your subscription preferences or to unsubscribe: https://lists.gnucash.org/mailman/listinfo/gnucash-user ----- Please remember to CC this list on all your replies.
