I finally got GNUCash 1.2.5 working under SUSE 6.3. I actually built it
from sources, but had to do a few other things not necessarily related
to the sources build.
For starters, I think you can address the error by running GNUCash as
root the first time. The slib libraries need to build some sort of
configuration file in the directory where you have slib installed. You
need to have write permission to the directory to initially create the
file. Once created I have not experienced any issues just running it as
a user.
The other thing I ran into was that you need to use lesstif 0.88.1.
SUSE 6.3 installs lesstif 0.89.?. I tried installing the
latest-and-greatest lesstif and still got problems (you cannot create a
new file -- you can edit and save existing files, just not create new
ones). There seems to be some other small problems related to this
too. I had to uninstall lesstif, get the source from the GNUCash web
site, and build the old version. Works pretty good now.
Hope that helps.
