Gtk2 :: gnucash fails to load



Hello,

I've just installed the latest dsl (2.1b) with frugal-install and I'd like to use gnucash.

Unfortunatly, I get this error :
dsl@box:~$ gnucash
ERROR: In procedure dynamic-link:
ERROR: file: "libgw-gnc", message: "libart_lgpl.so.2: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory"

Here's how I've procedeed :

mydsl-load /opt/gtk2-0705.dsl
mydsl-load /opt/gnucash.dsl
gnucash

Would anyone have a tip ?

Thanks,

Artturi

I think you need to activate the gtk2 extension from the menu after you load the extension.

It should be listed under the Fluxbox Right-Click menu in the "MyDSL" section.

Thanks for the input but the problem wasn't there.

I searched for the missing library and found a very close one : libart_lgpl_2.so.2

so I did :
sudo ln -nsf /usr/lib/libart_lgpl_2.so.2 /usr/lib/libart_lgpl.so.2

and gnucash started :)

Thanks for figuring that out, artturi.  I had the same problem, and the link you suggested fixed it.  Hopefully, someone can fix the bug as this app is a significant contribution to DSL.
