It did install several new packages, so clearly I did have some issues. Unfortunately, the splash screen still freezes when loading data, and Console still has the "failed to load...." message. I also rebuilt gconf2 as a desperation measure without any effect. I had a working Gnucash install on my old computer (intel mini), and when I migrated to the new macbook the problems started. I just can't figure out what I might have done to precipitate this problem. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Microsoft Defy all challenges.
