Another, sligtly more serious issue: I can't run it right after install!
% gnucash
ERROR: In procedure open-file:
ERROR: No such file or directory: "/usr/share/guile/slib/mklibcat"
There is a /usr/share/guile/slib/mklibcat.scm, I made a symbolic link to
it. Next error:
ERROR: In procedure open-file:
ERROR: Permission denied: "/usr/share/guile/slibcat"
This is the relevant part of a strace:
stat64("/usr/share/guile/slibcat", {st_mode=S_IFREG|0644, st_size=7202, ...}) = 0
unlink("/usr/share/guile/slibcat") = -1 EACCES (Permission denied)
open("/usr/share/guile/slibcat", O_WRONLY|O_CREAT|O_TRUNC, 0666) = -1 EACCES
(Permission denied)
write(2, "ERROR: In procedure open-file:\nE"..., 84
To me it looks like it's trying to re-build /usr/share/guile/slibcat.
That's a little bit strange, isn't it. Any such thing I'd expect
happening at install time...
I got it working by running it once as root. Now I can run it as a
regular user. I could even remove the symbolik link I created in
/usr/share/guile/slib.
