cat $TMPDIR/gnucash.trace will show some info, but as I noted in the first post, not enough to determine which report(s) are the problem.
However, running GnuCash from the terminal like so: /Applications/Gnucash.app/Contents/MacOS/Gnucash --debug --log gnc.scm=debug Will generate more info that is useful. The output I included in the first post are from 3 such runs. This is documented at: https://wiki.gnucash.org/wiki/Custom_Reports#Debugging_your_report From there, the tracefile is output to stderr which in this case was the same terminal. So I only need to see if the report(s) showed up in the menu, and then checked the terminal each time as I uncommented them one by one in the config-user.scm file. Each one that has a problem was indicated in the terminal by a ‘failed to compile’ error and noted the info about `gnucash main` not being found. (as well as the `printf` module) I tried changing from loading `gnucash main` to `gnucash utilities` on a hunch. (no real expectation that would work of course since the referenced code is likely entirely different) That exposed a failure for `printf` which I then commented out, but of course, the later code needs it, so it still failed. I’d have to know what was in `gnucash main` that the report needs as well as how it used `printf` and then re-write all of that. As I don’t yet know Scheme, I’m not able to do so just yet. I was hoping Doug (who published these reports) might have updated them.
