If fixing the environment file (please check carefully to ensure that you made 
the change correctly) didn't do it for you then please file a new bug; you have 
a different problem from the one on that one.

[coolnodje]

Sorry for being unresponsive, this email ended up in my spam box for
some reason.

Thanks for pointing this bug to me. Sounds exactly like the problem I have.
Adding the line to my environment file didn't help unfortunately.

I've subscribed to the bug report, will see how it unfolds.

Thanks

Did you try as suggested in the bug report to add a line to your environment 
file ?
That advice was the first suggestion in comment one
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=794933#c1
and this fixed the backend issue for the other reporters.

Re: [GNC] "No suitable backend" error for database backed gnucash file

[coolnodje]

All right, so that's one less reason to get the "No suitable backend" error.
The sqlite backend shouldn't possibly be missing.

Then I just have no lead anymore as for why I could possibly get this
problem.

Unless you have any advice to debug this I guess I'll just recreate the
file with the logs.
It's very small but I have a company, a customer and an invoice recorded
in it, which I wish I could keep.

Re: [GNC] "No suitable backend" error for database backed gnucash file

[John Ralls]

The Mac bundle has its own copy of sqlite3 along with almost everything else it 
needs. It does use some frameworks from /System/Library/Frameworks (notably 
AppKit and CoreFoundation) and one or two from /usr/lib. It does not and cannot 
use anything from Homebrew; the Homebrew “recipe” for GnuCash just retrieves 
and downloads one of our distribution dmgs.

Re: [GNC] "No suitable backend" error for database backed gnucash file

[coolnodje]

   sqlite is still installed and available on my machine.
   I can't make sure which version is used though, as there are several
   and I don't quite get which PATH Gnucash is using on MacOS.

   It's very likely that it uses the MacOS pre-installed version and that
   it hasn't changed.

   If Gnucash has access to the specific "brew" installed binaries then it
   may be that a newer version isn't compatible.

Re: [GNC] "No suitable backend" error for database backed gnucash file

[Adrien Monteleone]

If the backend is installed (as it was for me, I simply upgraded GC) then you 
might need to modify the environment file in the 3.0 app’s bundle. Look in this 
month’s archives on the list for a post by me on the same topic. I didn’t get a 
reply, but I found that solution via a bug report that JohnR offered. Sorry I 
don’t have the link handy or the info on the tip of my tongue to save you the 
searching trouble.

[GNC] "No suitable backend" error for database backed gnucash file

[coolnodje]

Using Gnucash on MacOS, I got this error trying to open a recently
created file which I think I based on a database back-end instead of the
standard.

I have upgraded to 3.0 in the meantime and thought it was the problem.

But I realized when I finally was able to start a v2.6.20 on an older
MacOS10.12 virtual machine that I still had the problem.
Which means that this is all unrelated to the 3.0 upgrade.

I've tried to revert the file to an older version (prior to the last
modification, so prior to the last successful opening) but got the same
error.
This really confuses me:

- the file as it was the last time it was successfully modified cannot
be opened (which should exclude file corruption problem)

- the latest version on latest MacOS can't open it because "No suitable
backend", but 2.6.20 on MacOS10.12 also can't open it because "No
suitable backend".

So if the file itself is not the problem, and if version that used to be
able to open it can't anymore, where could the problem come from?

Only I wasn't able to reproduce the error with the exact same setup I
had when last successfully modified: trying to reinstall 2.6.20 on
MacOS10.13 I realized it can't be started anymore (Gnucash can't be
opened because of a problem - DYLD, [0x4] Symbol missing)

Is there anything I can do to try to save the file in question?
