This might be because of the build issue we had, related to guile. Dominique, what do you think?

Unfortunately there is much more to it than the bare eye meets. guile-2 seems to be a big problem for gnucash (upstream only 'build' tested even trunk, never actually ran it) make check fails with guile 2, reported in upstream https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=655901 (which was about guile2 compatibility in first place) -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

An update to gnucash just came through (to 2.4.7-28.1). The problem is NOT FIXED. The terminal output is unchanged.

Confirming comment #32. I cannot do without gnucash, so for the time being I am using the workaround of installing gnucash 2.4.0 and guile 1.8 from the openSUSE 11.4 repo.

See my comment #42.

This is GNOME:Apps or Factory, then, I guess. Not a pure 12.1. We updated to the new version in case it helps; it can be more broken than what was there before (which I won't say is good...).

another patch (via Apper) - another FAIL. Come on, somebody just fix this thing for real - please.

Robert: are you using GNOME:Apps? If yes, then again, this is known -- that's the way GNOME:Apps is being developed: changes in there don't always fix issues. And in this case, it was broken before and it's as broken after. If you're not using GNOME:Apps, where does the update come from? Note that the guile1 packages are on their way to Factory now, so we'll have more testing soon. If you want to help test on 12.1, please use Petr's packages from http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/home:/pgajdos:/guile1/openSUSE_12.... And when we get positive feedback on those, we'll be able to push them as an online update. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

Did anybody else than Graham test Petr's packages? We'd like to see at least one other person come with positive feedback before we push this as a maintenance update...

Sorry, I've been meaning too this earlier. Like Graham, I used the earlier fix from comment 5 & 16. I just installed Petr's packages as suggested from comment 53. It seems good for how I use Gnucash. I am able to load Gnucash without it crashing, save files, review reports, and export reports. I don't use Gnucash beyond that. I have no known problems.

Andrews Lavarre 2012-01-31 03:08:24 UTC --- Oh my, a bit thin skinned we are... but it is late, so we are all to be excused. This is not easy, I know. I am simply stating facts, as reported to me, to help us all solve the problem. If it's any consolation, the GnuCash people are just as frustrated as you... But as to the substance: ====== Thank you for #53. I did read the *entire* post, as I reported in IRC, but I already tried it without success under openSUSE 12.1. I DID try Petr's package, but nothing changes, I still get the Unknown option name: maxdepth Error. If I install the older tar.gz packages from the GnuCash site then I get the also separately reported errors on dependency hell... I *am progressing in eliminating these, but ideally the current distro should "just work", which it does not. ====== We are all in this together. Somewhere in all of this is the truth, the facts. I'm simply stating the ones I know (the GnuCash response) that moving to Guile 2.0 has broken GnuCash. ====== Now: I have ALSO tried regressing to two older version of GnuCash. I have also installed all the devel packages I can find, so I AM doing my homework. But it isn't working. We need some way to regress Guile 2.0 to Guile 1.8, which I do not know. ===== Again as reported separately, Guile 1.8 is still on my system, but it has been renamed guile1. I don't know how to reverse that. ===== ===== So bottom line: no offense intended, just stating facts, and I know that that kind of objectivity raises hackles, for which I apologize, but it doesn't change the facts: 1. GnuCash remains broken in openSUSE 12.1, full stop. 2. This is, allegedly (by the GnuCash developers), because openSUSE 12.1 is using Guile 2.0 instead of Guile 1.8 and not offering any backward compatibility to Guile 1.8. 3. My numerous attempts at reconstituting older versions of GnuCash, as well as following the instructions in comment #53 have failed. 4. I report these facts here in the spirit of teamwork, as we all have a common enemy. But how can you hope to fix something if you will not listen to the facts as observed? 5. I want to help. Tell me what I must do to help. Other than what I already have done, or perhaps just do it all over again. But I have already spent easily twelve hours on this problem, so I need new information.

If you miss some, configure or make complain about missing packages or include files. If you tell the error messages I can say what should be installed. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

Woohoo!!! FIXED IT!

ALL YA GOTTA DO: is the Indiana Jones defence: JUST NUKE GUILE 2.0!!

I'll give you all the gory details if you wish, but basically I tried replicating Martin's hack with 32-bit files. I made progress, but still couldn't get guile 1.8 to install correctly. ....<snip>

So I brought up yast2 sw_single, called up guile and clicked delete (X) for guile 2.0. This brought up the "are you sure" dialog, which informed that if I did this it would uninstall gnucash 2.4.9 and downgrade it to 2.4.7.

...

I am glad that this works for you, but my intention was to leave the system as it is, without deleting or downgrading guile-2.0 or whatever the novell people beleive to be good. Gnucash should bring with it its own private guile. This is in a hidden place (/usr/local/guile-1.8 or /usr/local/guncash/guile-1.8 or whatever you want). Tt was never installed to hide it from the package manager, and no ldconfig was ever run on its ../lib[64] directory. So nobody who does not know it will use it accidentally. To use the private guile: - During the build process: PATH must have .../guile-1.8/bin in the first place to help configure to find its guile-config to figure out the version 1-8 LD_LIBRARY_PATH should begin with its lib64 to satisfy guile-config CPPFLAGS and LDFLAGS help the compiler and linker to find it - To run gnucash: The wrapper script gnucash.sh puts the private bin and lib64 at the head of PATH and LD_LIBRARA_PATH, so it will use its private guile. For a quick proof of concept I put guile-1.8 in a tarfile which has to be extracted to build as well to run gnucash.sh. For a production version gnucash.rpm of course should include it, and gnucash should be renamed to gnucash.bin and the wrapper script gnucash.sh to gnucash. This proposal requires no modificatin to gnucash or the system. It should be the fastest way to roll out a working gnucash, until in a more or less far future the gnucash maintainers switch to guile-2.x. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

It's good to see so many people care about gnucash, but you are investing too much time in it ;-)

Well, it is my most important app after LibreOffice Calc, so I'd like to help fix it for 32-bit folks...

The easy way is (until the update has been released): zypper ar http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/home:/pgajdos:/guile1/openSUSE_12....

Unfortunately this does not solve the matter for my 32-bit system:

Notes: - the exact version number might change. "zypper in gnucash" will give you a hint about the exact command/version you need to use. - zypper in will result in a conflict. Choose the solution that proposes "install guile-2.0.2-7.4.1.x86_64 (with vendor change)"

I use the version recommended by this procedure: zypper install gnucash-2.4.9-28.2.i586 The installation runs successfully to conclusion, but on invoking gnucash you get the same "Maxdepth" crash. So I've nuked guile 2.0 which rolled back both gnucash and guile, so I can get my work done.

And please only add more comments here if you are testing the packages from the home:pgajdos:guile1 repo. In other words: no more comments about random workarounds, please - this bugreport is already confusing enough ;-)

Sorry, just trying to help - haven't found any other solution for 32-bit system. But now I've posted that workaround to my blog and will hope to see Google pick it up so the folks that haven't figured out how to solve the problem can at least get their work done. Thanks for all the work here in trying to fix it, but it isn't there yet, at least not for (at least one - me) 32-bit openSUSE 12.1 users...

For those trying to use this workaround and run into the same problem I did - you get the following error when running gnucash: /usr/share/guile/site/slib/guile.init:560:10: No such file or directory: "/usr/share/guile/site/slib/mklibcat" I performed the steps shown here: http://gnucash.1415818.n4.nabble.com/Installation-startup-issues-with-gnucas..., which is to run AS ROOT: gnucash --nofile Let it do its first time launch thing that pops 3-4 dialogs, close gnucash and now you can use it as a regular user. Wow - a workaround for a workaround.
