Other information:
What OS/Distro? What's printed on the terminal when it dies?
Oops, sorry, just posted what popped up when I ran it... not sure if this is even really worth reporting :) On Slackware 11: root@pendelhaven:/usr/local/bin# ./gnucash (gnucash:26669): GnomeUI-WARNING **: While connecting to session manager: Authentication Rejected, reason : None of the authentication protocols specified are supported and host-based authentication failed. freeing NULL pointer (bug-buddy:26673): GnomeUI-WARNING **: While connecting to session manager: Authentication Rejected, reason : None of the authentication protocols specified are supported and host-based authentication failed. ** (bug-buddy:26673): WARNING **: Couldn't load icon for Bonobo Component Browser ** (bug-buddy:26673): WARNING **: Couldn't load icon for Decrypt File ** (bug-buddy:26673): WARNING **: Couldn't load icon for Import Key ** (bug-buddy:26673): WARNING **: Couldn't load icon for Open Folder ** (bug-buddy:26673): WARNING **: Couldn't load icon for Verify Signature "/usr/local/bin/gnucash": not in executable format: File format not recognized
Anything output in /tmp/gnucash.trace? This is a scheme error, so I'm trying to get the scheme backtrace. It's possible the problem is related to the "Authentication Rejected" while connecting to the session manager, but I doubt it.
less /tmp/gnucash.trace output: gnucash: /usr/lib/libgnc-backend-postgres.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory failed to load gnc-backend-postgres from /usr/lib loading system configuration looking for /etc/gnucash/config trying to load /etc/gnucash/config loading user configuration looking for /root/.gnucash/config-2.0.user looking for /root/.gnucash/config-1.8.user looking for /root/.gnucash/config-1.6.user looking for /root/.gnucash/config.user loading auto configuration looking for /root/.gnucash/config-2.0.auto looking for /root/.gnucash/config-1.8.auto looking for /root/.gnucash/config-1.6.auto looking for /root/.gnucash/config.auto loading saved reports looking for /root/.gnucash/saved-reports-2.0 looking for /root/.gnucash/saved-reports-1.8 loading stylesheets looking for /root/.gnucash/stylesheets-2.0 gnucash.trace lines 1-22/22 (END)
... Although in retrospect, this may be from attempting to run Gnucash 2.0.2 (I installed a packaged version just to see if the program would run at all). The error messages from running the packaged version are similar, however.
Same as bug#389914 and perhaps bug#391601 . Which version of guile and of slib do you have installed?
phooka@pendelhaven:~$ slib --version slib 3a4 phooka@pendelhaven:~$ guile --version Guile 1.6.7 Copyright (c) 1995, 1996, 1997, 2000, 2001, 2002, 2003, 2004 Free Software Foundation Guile may be distributed under the terms of the GNU General Public Licence; certain other uses are permitted as well.

slib 3a4 is broken, can you downgrade to 3a3?
I tried that, and ended up getting an error message stating that SLIB could not be found (which I actually got the first time around with 3a4 until I reinstalled slib, guile, and g-wrap). I've probably been spending a bit more time on this than I should, so I've just gone ahead and installed the precompiled package. Thanks for all your help anyway!
Thanks for the feedback. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 373809 ***
