Description Frank Seidel 2005-08-25 11:15:42 UTC

on my testsystem (with german full-install and kde-desktop) gnucash does
not start at all.
I just get the error
"ERROR: Unbound variable: with-load-pathname" when i try to start it and thats
it.

I have the same problem in beta4.  KDE English system.

Comment 3 JP Rosevear 2005-09-05 01:27:03 UTC

I have a different issue on 64 bit, its not finding the slib/requires.scm
package because the search paths appear to be wrong.

Comment 4 Michael Gross 2005-09-05 14:10:14 UTC

Reducing severity to `normal'.
Furthermore please update the status from `new' to `assigned' when this bug is
being accepted.

Comment 5 Kirk Coombs 2005-09-06 16:02:34 UTC

I am changing this back to `critical'--I want to make sure this gets addressed
before 10.0 goes gold.  

GNUcash does not launch at all (which is essentially a crash), and the
definition of `critical' bugs are those that cause a "Crash, loss of data,
corruption of data, severe memory leak".  `Normal' implies a "Non-major loss of
function", which does not apply to this bug.

Comment 6 Vladimir Nadvornik 2005-09-07 13:34:42 UTC

There are some changes in new slib, which causes problems in gnucash:
with-load-pathname is in /usr/share/slib/guile.init which should be loaded
on startup, but gnucash does not do it.

Installing slib from 9.3 fixes it.

Is slib needed by anything else?

Comment 7 JP Rosevear 2005-09-07 16:29:11 UTC

Not according to pdb.suse.de

Comment 8 Anna Maresova 2005-09-08 08:40:28 UTC

Should I replace slib 3a2 with an older version? (3a1 works)

Comment 9 Andreas Jaeger 2005-09-09 05:10:10 UTC

whatdependson slib
- gnucash (gnome-maintainers@suse.de)
  maintainers: gnome-maintainers@suse.de

Downgrade is ok but needs to happen today!

Comment 10 Anna Maresova 2005-09-09 08:42:42 UTC

package submitted

Comment 11 Chris Norris 2005-09-18 11:30:30 UTC

I had exact same problem as 25 August report, but using 10.0 RC1.

Downgrading to slib 3a1-44 from 9.3 resolved it - thanks. (BTW I also googled a
gnucash discussion board thread that mentioned the same issue, but not with
SuSE. IIRC they say there is no issue reverting to the previous slib.)
