Hi Jean-Pierre/GnuCash users, Glad to hear that installing the libdbd-sqlite3 library solved that issue!
Another option to figuring out which Linux dependency might be missing from the Linux distribution that you are using with GnuCash or any other Linux program/app, is to use the Flatpak version, which bundles the libraries/runtimes/dependencies with the Linux app/program. https://flathub.org/apps/org.gnucash.GnuCash - the Flatpak version of Gnucash https://flatpak.org/setup/ & https://flathub.org/setup lists the 41 different Linux distros that work with Flatpak/Flathub and how to get it set up. --- Thanks, Brad - https://www.facebook.com/brad.morrison.12327/ & https://norcal.social/@BradMorrison On 2025-01-09 01:34, Jean-Pierre Vandenbroucke wrote: > Hallo, > > Installing libdbd-sqlite3 solved the problem, thank you. > > Op 8/01/2025 om 22:07 schreef David Cousens: Jean-Pierre, > > Were you using one of the SQL backends to store your file in V5.5 on > LM22.
