I did send a bug-buddy report. From gnome-terminal gottlieb@ajglap ~ $ gnucash 73fa912f-e9aa-dc64-0125fcd7-7013796f is dumped gottlieb@ajglap ~ $ I looked at the crash details before sending in the bug bunny report and the comments in session-errors were not related to gnucash as far as I could see. I somewhat suspect libpcre since I recently emerged it and have seen error reports in b.g.o. I do have the unicode use flag and I reemerged libpcre, goffice, and gnucash. No change. I then installed goffice and gnucash on another machine (eva) and copied over my .gnucash directory and the main database file (for me ~/share/financial/gnucash/checking.gnucash) I started gnucash on eva and did an open of the database file. It worked so it can't be my database or ~/.gnucash Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.Be on my laptop either as me or root 2.Open gnome-terminal 3.type gnucash Actual Results: Immediate crash and bug buddy Expected Results: gnucash opens I have tried it with essentially nothing else running emerge --info results follow
I get a "gnucash Segmentation fault" as well but it is not cause by libpcre as I downgraded it and still the same problem. The strange part it that Gnucash is working OK on my backup system but not on my main server. #Joseph
As I've mentioned to you on Gentoo mailing list; I recompile / downgraded "libpcre" - didn't help; next I downgraded "guile-1.8.2" to "guile-1.6.8" (followed by revdep-rebild) so two packages were rebuild: dev-libs/g-wrap app-office/gnucash Now, Gnucash is starting normally no more "segmentation errors" But I'm not sure if this is the solution since on my Gentoo backup Gnucash is working OK with guile-1.8.2 #Joseph
Have you tried running revdep-rebuild (from the gentoolkit package) first?
(In reply to comment #0) > emerge --info results follow Nowhere to be seen, plus also attach a backtrace if revdep-rebuild doesn't fix you. http://www.gentoo.org/proj/en/qa/backtraces.xml
I have the same problem after upgrading thew following packages: dev-libs/libpcre-7.6 -> dev-libs/libpcre-7.6-r1 app-text/docbook-xsl-stylesheets-1.70.1 -> app-text/docbook-xsl-stylesheets-1.73.2 sys-devel/libtool-1.5.26 -> sys-devel/libtool-1.5.26 These caused rebuilding dev-scheme/guile-1.8.2 After that gnucash crashes at startup and i think its a gnucash/guile issue as gdb back trace looks like this: (gdb) bt #0 0xb6a8503b in gw_wct_create () from /usr/lib/libgwrap-guile-runtime.so.0 #1 0xb54e9406 in gw_initialize_wrapset_standard () from /usr/lib/libgw-guile-standard.so.0 #2 0xb54e9683 in gw_init_wrapset_standard () from /usr/lib/libgw-guile-standard.so.0 #3 0xb6a587cc in scm_dynamic_call () from /usr/lib/libguile.so.17 #4 0xb69da66a in ??

The following combination should work: =dev-scheme/guile-1.8.2 =dev-libs/g-wrap-1.9.6-r3 =dev-scheme/slib-3.1.1-r1 Install in this order again. Then reemerge gnucash and report back.
Yes, you are right libgwrap-guile-runtime.so.0!!!! Building the abovementioned packages and gnucash afterwards fixed the seg-fault. Thank you very much.
Did you (Allan and Joseph) install guile in the last 42 hours? There was a change in package.use which might have caused the segfault (<http://sources.gentoo.org/viewcvs.py/gentoo-x86/profiles/base/package.use?r1=1.11&r2=1.12>). If guile changes the threads useflag, gnucash needs to be reinstalled.

You won't be able to run GnuCash without it!
FYI: gnucash-bin shows some useful messages when it crashes. :)
As pointed out in comment 8 I think this was caused by the profile change.
