John, I greatly appreciate your detailed explanation. Gnucash works here once again and that's the important point; I can use it as the valuable tool it is. When gnucash is upgraded I'll deal with any issues that arise then. Not all SBo package maintainers keep up to date so when I use the build script wit a version newer than that linked sometimes it fails. And, sometimes the upstream source changes the version so the download link no longer works. Since all of you (gnucash, SBo, and most other OS developers) contribute on your own time I completely understand when versions are behind the most current. And I certainly appreciate the efforts everyone expends to contribute to everyone else. (I do my part, too, by sometimes contributing code and by always responding with suggestions and solutions when others post requests for help on mail lists to which I'm subscribed.)

Some of gnucash' dependencies are built against that older libicuuc version. I continue to point at libwebkitgtk because that's the only dependency we have that requires icu (and you may have noted libwebkitgtk is also listed by ldd). You could run ldd on that library and see what it's trying to link to. If it's version 51, I think the libwebkitgtk maintainer should know.

Everyone: Found and fixed the problem!! Ran ldd on the not-found library (libgnc-gnome) and saw two missing dependent libraries: libicuuc.so.51 => not found libicudata.so.51 => not found These are missing because Slackware-14.2 provides both in version 56.

You should check whether the webkit dependencies in slackware have been properly updated to the new icu in 14.2. Now there's a thought. I just checked and both webkitgtk and libwebp have newer versions than what's on the SBo repository. I had not checked; assumed the maintainers were up to date.

John, I've run into this on a couple of other applications that now use CMake. Does Slackware not provide GnuCash as an installable package? No. It's not part of the base distribution but is provided (among several hundred useful tools) by SlackBuilds.org. The build script checks for dependencies, and produces a Slackware .tgz installable file. I'll look at the build script. If I don't immediately see how to isolate the build from the rest of the process I'll ask the package maintainer.
