GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 456319
Error message on initial load - application fails to start.
Last modified: 2018-06-29 21:42:36 UTC
Steps to reproduce: 1. By starting GnuCash on my PC. 2. 3. Stack trace: I'm sorry I am running this on Windows. Other information: When I run the programme I get an error message "Gconfd-2.ex - Entry point not found" with a more detailed message that "The procedure entry point g_assert_warning could not be located in the dynamic link library libglib-2.0-0.dll" The programme then stops.
I had a bit of a poke around and because I assumed it had something to do with a previous version of Glade that I had installed but removed. Turns out an old version of the DLL mentioned sat in my c:\windows\system32 directory and was being selected as a priority over the copy to Gnucash. Once I deleted this other dll (which I know I don't need for anything else) it ran fine. Had a couple more conflicts too, but it's working OK now. Would be best if Gnucash always selected the local DLL though to avoid such conflicts.
Thanks for taking the time to report this bug. This particular bug has already been reported into our bug tracking system, but we are happy to tell you that the problem has already been fixed.
