It appears that gnucash will not run on Mandrive2006 (64bit) if it is included as part of the original installation, but it will work OK if it is installed later. This is caused by some problem with guile. Anyway, there is a simple fix which I have now run and gnucash now starts properly. So now I will have a good look and see what I think. This all started because I have used Moneydance for years and I wanted to continue with it on my new computer. However I cannot get Moneydance to run, apparently due to its failing to find java properly. I would be quite happy to use gnucash if I could get it to read my moneydance backup file. I don't suppose that is possible. Otherwise, if I simply cannot get moneydance to run I will have to start again from scratch, and lose the last three years' data!! Not much good, but better than nothing. Thanks for all the help so far. I may be back...!!!
