Running gnumeric, and trying to enter the following into the first cell of the spreadsheet: =if(TRUE,1,2) reports that the formula is invalid.

Are you sure that the plugins are active? All gnumeric functions are in plugins. The if function is in "Logical Functions". Be sure the plugin is enabled (menu Tools/Plug-ins...).
It seems plugins are disabled by default. Removing .gnumericrc fixes it, but has to be removed each time, so maybe this is linked with the autosaving of preferences at program close
The .gnumericrc file exist only if gnumeric is built with --without-gnome. This bug might be related, but I can't reproduce. What are the contents of .gnumericrc?
Created attachment 122408 [details] Hurting .gnumericrc on AMD64 Indeed the problem disappears if gnumeric and libgsf are compiled with the gnome USE flag. I'll stick to that solution for the moment. See my attached .gnumericrc: the line that causes problems is the one starting with gnumeric/plugins/file-states=... Just removing this line make things work, but the line comes back when gnumeric shuts down...
Enabling the 'gnome' use flag did it for me, as well.
This one have been fixed upstream (in the 1.7 branch), see http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=465545
1.8 is in tree. Please reopen if it doesn't fix your issue.
