BUG: gnucash crashes on start

[luke-macports@…]

After a fresh install of gnucash on MacOSX 10.4.10, I get the following:

pomme:~ lukeschierer$ gnucash dyld: Symbol not found: cg_jpeg_resync_to_restart

Referenced from: /System/Library/Frameworks/ApplicationServices.framework/Versions/A/Frameworks/ImageIO.framework/Versions/A/ImageIO Expected in: /opt/local/lib/libjpeg.62.dylib

Trace/BPT trap pomme:~ lukeschierer$

There was somebody on gnucash-user with that problem recently. David Reiser suggested that this might be the result of setting DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH at either compile or run time. I don't know if it fixed the problem for him, though.

Just for reference, I don't have DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH set, never had, and GnuCash works fine.

Please get back to us if you find out what's wrong.

I have not intentionally set it, I will try explicetly unsetting it in the shell, and uninstalling and re-installing gnucash.

No idea, sorry. Have you tried posting to the gnucash-user list? You'll get a wider audience there.

I'm having the same problem since upgrading to Gnucash 2.2. Reading this thread -- ​http://www.nabble.com/Problems-with-Gnucash---Gramps-t4254628.html -- I found a solution:

Following Mike's comment, I tried editing the shell script:

/opt/local/bin/gnucash (the one that launches Gnucash). Line 20 originally read: DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH="${EXTRA_LIBS}:${DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH}" So I altered it to: #DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH="${EXTRA_LIBS}:${DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH}" DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH="/System/Library/Frameworks/ApplicationServices.framework/Versions/A/Frameworks/ImageIO.framework/Versions/A/Resources:/opt/local/lib:/opt/local/lib/gnucash"

and Gnucash 2.2.0 now loads and apparently runs its basic functions OK.

Please note: I have NOT tested the full functionality. This is just a

work-round so I can try out the new version of gnucash on a non-critical application. Use it at your own risk.

I made the change and Gnucash now loads for me.

A workaround is provided in r28132. Thanks for everybody who contributed with hints and observations.
