GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 452170
Message Box on Gnucash start - "Entry Point Not Found"
Last modified: 2018-06-29 21:40:58 UTC
This is a regression from 2.1.3. Steps to reproduce: 1. Install 2.1.4 2. Optional step: Do usual ORBit magic (on my system the version 2.13.x provided with Gnucash doesn't work, need to update to 2.14.7) 3. Open GNUCash Expected results: Splashscreen, some coffee and it is running Actual results: The message box (below) is shown before the splashscreen is displayed. After clicking OK, the GNUCash continues loading and it works fine. --------------------------- gnucash-bin.exe - Entry Point Not Found --------------------------- The procedure entry point BIO_clear_flags could not be located in the dynamic link library libeay32.dll. --------------------------- OK ---------------------------
Reminds me of bug 450601. Could you please try to do the following? * uninstall gnucash * remove remaining files * install gnucash again
Yes, clean installation works. Previously it was an upgrade on 2.1.3.
Ok, thanks for this information. I will check whether we can do anything about that.
Hm, are you saying that you started with a fresh installation of gnucash 2.1.3? Libeay32.dll did not change since then. Earlier dlls included versioning information, not so the newer one. In r16238 a flag "ignoreversion" has been added to the setup.exe configuration so that libeay32.dll will be replaced nonetheless.
@Alek: Could you try the 2.1.5-svn-r16280 binary on http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=192&package_id=5582&release_id=520304 and see whether this fixed the bug? Thanks.

No, you should uninstall gnucash completely, then check whether the r16280 binary works even without further ORBit tweaking.
I uninstalled 2.1.4, removed Program Files\gnucash folder, and gconf and orbit folders in temp. After installing gnucash-2.1.5-svn-r16280-setup.exe Orbit tweaks still are required - without them, I get: * OTHER <> file corba-object.c: line 76 (ORBit_register_objref): assertion failed: (obj->object_key != NULL)
The last error message is discussed in the other bug. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 457100 ***
