Gnucash shows a dynamic link error and won't launch.Can you post the specific error? Likely it's a missing dependency, but we cant tell you what package it is unless you tell us what claims to be missing.Gnumeric gives the message that it can't open the display.This is because you have to start X11 (whatever variant you're using) first: http://fink.sourceforge.net/faq/usage-general.php#no-displayThese are the error messages generated by both programs:(gnumeric:468): Gtk-WARNING **: cannot open display: This occurs with Xll turned on.
If you're running from an OS X terminal you have to set the DISPLAY environment variable yourself, even if X11 is running (I should have said that). That should be covered in the article referenced above.
gnucash:ERROR: In procedure dynamic-link:ERROR: file: "libgw-gnc", message: "dlcompat: invalid handle."
Oh. This isn't what I thought it was. By any chance do you have a /usr/local/lib/libdl.dylib file?
Using the terminal window I got two messages: /usr/local/lib/libdl.dylib
-bash: /usr/local/lib/libdl.dylib: Bad executable (or shared library)
Herbert-Alexanders-Computer:~ herbertalexander$ find /usr/local/lib/libdl.dylib/usr/local/lib/libdl.dylib
Since the file exists but seems to be defective, what do I do to correct the problem? Where do I find a replacement that will work.
