Here's the summary. Since the beginning of this year I have depended on gnucash for my business and personal bookkeeping. Slackware-14.1 on my 32-bit desktop allowed gnucash to build and ran through version 2.6.16. A couple of weeks ago I upgraded the desktop to 14.2 and 2.6.16 no longer loads because it was built against a library version that was upgraded with the distribution.
Gnucash-2.6.17 is the current version. Trying to build it fails either because it's looking for a static library when only shared libraries are available or because it cannot find a file it needs. This also happens on my Dell Latitude 2100 (32-bit Atom processor) running 14.2 on a new SSD. The SlackBuilds.org package maintainer hit the same errors on a virtual 32-bit 14.2; he does not currently run gnucash so fixing the problem is a low priority for him. It's a very high priority for me. Gnucash-2.6.17 builds on my 64-bit Dell Latitude E5410 running 14.2 on a new SSD. There's more detail on build attempts I did with 2.6.13 on both 32-bit systems. I need suggestions on how to figure out the differences between 32-bit and 64-bit versions of the same Slackware distribution because I've hit the edge of my knowledge on how to fix the problem. Off the list is fine with me if that would be more appropriate.
