that sounds like the same problem my wife encountered recently on 3.8
on Ubuntu 18.04.

I posted to th e list and John Ralls replied thusly:

It's probably https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gtk/issues/61. If you know how you 
can take a stack trace to be sure. The work-around is to set
GTK_IM_MODULE=ibus in the environment.

so we did that and the problem is solved.

Good luck!

Fred

John, thanks for the pointer! problem now solved.

from that page, it looks like it is not a new problem, wondefr if the GTK 
maintainers will ever fix it.

[GNC] 3.8 crash on Ubuntu 18.04

2020-01-18 Thread Fred Smith
Hi all!

My wife just switched from Win7 to Ubunt 18.04. she has used GnuCash for many  
years and is comfortable with what she uses it for.

I built a 3.8 for here when I set up the system, built on that system,
and until today it has been working fine (built it about 1.5 weeks ago).

All of a sudden today, when she opens an account and attempts to add a new 
entry OR to modify an existing entry she gets an instant crash.

Here are some of the pertinent entries from system logs:

from syslog:

Amen!

I'm helping my wifeto move off Win7 (she won't use Win10) to ubuntu,
and I set her up with 18.04 Mate.

I did a build of 3.8 on her new installation t'other day and it went
with no trouble at all, except I had to tell cmake not to try to build
the sql parts. And that was no biggie.

She doesn't use many of the advanced features, so I don't expect her
to have big problems...I built her a 3.1 (on Centos) back when it was
new and she had no issues with it either so I don't expect any on 3.8
either.

Thanks to the hard-working Gnucash team!

Wondering if there has been any news in this regard since this
posting back in october? (I haven't seen any in this list...)

I'm interesting in building for Centos 7.6 and rather would do
it right.

Thanks in advance!

> Going back to basics, did you install all the dependencies?  ie cmake etc

all the ones I could find documented (probably missed some at this
point). then cmake complained about a lot more, which I installed as
encountered.

Turns out my problem was 2 or 3 things: I had mis-interpreted the docs
instructions on how to set SRCROOT (I still think it could be clearer);
the version of cmake on Centos-7.5 won't work for gnucash, I downloaded
the latest one and installed it in /usr/local/cmake, removed the RPM
version, reset the PATH to point to the new one and voila! Also, Centos
comes with a set of Boost packages that are 0.01 too old in terms of
the version number... comes with 1.53, and Gnucash wants a minimum of
1.54. Looked at downloading and installing latest, but the bizarreness
of the build system scared me off, so I tweaked the cmake config to 
accept 1.53 and ran a build. Had one problem with a return from somewhere
deep down inside /usr/include/.../.../.../.../.../.hpp where
gcc said it couldn't convert some complex object into a bool inside
a return. So I put a cast to bool in the return statement and it compiled.

At compile time I had this error, which I don't know if its important
or not:

process:28679): gnc.module-WARNING **: Could not locate module 
gnucash/tax/de_DE interface v.0
wrote 
`/home/fredex/Downloads/gnucash-3.1/lib64/gnucash/scm/ccache/2.0/gnucash/report/locale-specific/de_DE.go'

Looks like something to do with Germany, so I'm probably safe, being
in the US.

the build continued on from there and appeared to complete. next task
is to try it and see if I get smoke, or not.

thanks for your reply!

I downloaded the file to ~/Downloads, and from there did tar xvf 
which produced a directory named gnucash-3.1, and that is where $SRCROOT
points:

$ env | grep SRCROOT
SRCROOT=/home/fredex/Downloads/gnucash-3.1

which way should I then be doing it? I (in my advanced years) find the
explanations somewhat opaque. Surely my problem, not yours.

also, where is it trying to create that glib directory? the message
says /glib/..., so am I supposed to run this as root, so it has
permission to write into the / directory?

I'll look into this.

[GNC] building 3.1 on Linux, problems.

2018-05-31 Thread Fred Smith
Hi all!

I'm trying to build 3.1 for Centos-7, and since I don't know anything
about cmake, am having some trouble.

when running cmake like this:

cmake $SRCROOT/gnucash

I'm getting these errors:

CMake Error at CMakeLists.txt:5 (file):
  file problem creating directory: /glib-2.0/schemas

is this due to something in CMakeLists.txt, line five? Line 5 in
that file doesn't appear to have anything to do with glib, Here
are the first few lines:

# CMakeLists.txt for GnuCash

IF (WIN32 OR APPLE)
  CMAKE_MINIMUM_REQUIRED (VERSION 3.3.2)
ELSE()
  CMAKE_MINIMUM_REQUIRED (VERSION 2.8)
ENDIF()

PROJECT (gnucash)

ENABLE_TESTING()



then there's this one. there IS no CMakeLists.txt file in the gnome
directory. what am I supposed to look at to try to understand this one?


-- Performing Test have_mod_mask - Failed
CMake Error at gnome/CMakeLists.txt:59 (gnc_add_swig_guile_command):
  Unknown CMake command "gnc_add_swig_guile_command".

and if there WERE such a file, how would I go about fixing this?

Assistance appreciated, thanks in advance!

Actually, SourceForge and Slashdot's owner sold them both to someone
else, who then commenced to clean up the act on Source Forge.

Unfortunatley, they also added a bunch of ads to Slashdot.
