No, it IS set to /var/tmp/athan, it's part of some logic in my shell startup to get a unique, and only accessible to me, temporary directory. Oh, and this system is one big filesystem in /, 70GB free (I got sick of eventually running out of space on /usr no matter how big a "sensible size, plus some" I made it at install time). /home/user/ is NFS-mounted from my server machine though. > To preclude that the error is related to your data file please give > additionally "--nofile" for starting gnucash without opening any data file.

I dread trying that for every dependency listed for gnucash, and then all their dependencies too. Things like Firefox 3 (to name a somewhat complex application) and pidgin are still running without problems. -- - Athanasius = Athanasius(at)miggy.org / http://www.miggy.org/ Finger athan(at)fysh.org for PGP key "And it's me who is my enemy.
