At any rate, I did pull libtool 1.4.3 down manually, installed it, and re-built the other elements (guile, g-wrap) and gnucash against it, but I ended up with the same problem.
Does anyone have (or know anyone who has) 1.8.1 running on FreeBSD successfully? It compiles OK, and even seems to be OK if you just take a cursory glance at it, but it's missing a lot when you actually try to use it.
I'm going to keep digging into this, and I'd really like to know if anyone has it working on this platform. That will at least let me know if it's a configuration issue on my system, or a more general issue with FreeBSD.
Thanks,
Bob

Hi, I've been running gnucash for a few years now on FreeBSD with great success. Recently I upgraded to 1.8.1 (though the FreeBSD ports system) and while the build worked ok, the result seems to have some serious problems. I have a fair amount of programming experience, but very little with gnome/gtk and I'm hoping someone might be able to point me in the right direction.
Here's what happens:
When I start gnucash, i get the following:
;;; The module name (ice-9 and-let*) is deprecated. ;;; Use (ice-9 and-let-star) instead.
This in and of itself doesn't seem to be a big deal, but might be an indicator (I thought perhaps I had an outdated slib or guile, but I re-built them from latest ports and installed and get the same thing now).
However, the big problem seems to happen when I try to open any register window. I get lots of lines like the following on stderr:
** WARNING **: could not find signal handler 'gnc_register_edit_cb'.
** WARNING **: could not find signal handler 'gnc_register_statusbar_cb'.
** WARNING **: could not find signal handler 'gnc_register_stock_split_cb'.
.... Lots of these types of lines, followed by:
Gtk-WARNING **: gtk_signal_handler_block_by_data(): could not find handler containing data (0x8A8E800)
Gtk-WARNING **: gtk_signal_handler_unblock_by_data(): could not find blocked handler containing data (0x8A8E800)
Gtk-WARNING **: gtk_signal_handler_block_by_data(): could not find handler containing data (0x8A8E800)
.... Lots of these types of lines too.
I assume the two types of errors here are essentially the same thing being reported at two different levels.
The register shows up, but it is missing most of it's functionality: Visually it looks fine, but I can't sort, I can't split (I can click on the split button, but nothing happens to the register window). One odd thing is that if I use the 'close' menu option, nothing happens, but if I use the close button, it does close the register. Also, the transfer button seems to work OK (at least it pops up the transfer dialog). I'm guessing that some of the functions may be routed to scheme through a callback mechanism and others are directly linked in, but thats just a guess.
Anyone have any idea of either a solution, or which things I should look at to try to narrow this down. I have tried to re-build most of the dependencies of this port (it's hard to spot them all however) but so far nothing is working. I'm getting desperate here as I have all my finances for the past 2 years in gnucash and have really built a reliance on it. Unfortunately, it's difficult to rollback to the previous version for me (I was using 1.6.something) but I guess I'll do that as a last result.
Thanks in advance,
Bob Crowe
