Saivann,
Thanks for your help, your questions pointed me in the right direction.
I solved this by running from the command line as follows:
set GUILE_LOAD_PATH=/usr/share/guile/1.6
export GUILE_LOAD_PATH
gnucash
All worked just fine. Now I can play and work!
--
guile 1.8 install breaks
I never set it before, when I start up a new terminal window and type
echo $GUILE_LOAD_PATH is blank, and I get the make-mutex error.
The gnucash script in /usr/bin/gnucash seems to rely on an already set
GUILE_LOAD_PATH, it concats some local gnucash directoryies to it.
My guess is that
Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: gnucash
gnucash 2.2.6 runs fine until gnome-games installs which adds guile 1.8
gnucash no longer works. tried 2.2.8 from launchpad but still no joy.
I'm running 8.10 under wubi
messsages in console:
gnucash
gnc.bin-Message: main: bin relocation
It seems to have something to do with what gnome games does with guile.
very interesting. If I do a COMPLETE removal of gnome-games gnucash
runs.
If I reinstall gnome-games, it fails as above.
if I do a simple removal of gnome-games, gnucash fails as above.
If I then remove guile 1.8 gnucash
