36 I tried logging in as root, which I "never" do and the same failure.
37
38 I re-emerged gnucash, no help.
39
40 I keep backups of the data file.
41
42 cd ~/.gnucash/books; ls -l yields

52
53 in ~/share/financial/gnucash I have checking.gnucash and a large
54 number of checking.gnucash.{xac, log} files
55
56 I believe the xac are the backups so I moved one to gnucash.checking
57 but again, gnucash fails to start.
58
59 Even though I knew it wouldn't help, I rebooted as well
60
61 If I try to start gnucash from a gnome-terminal the following appears
62 on the terminal
63
64 160a84fe-5424-04cd-27e767bb-1c94c875 is dumped
65
66 I am basically out of ideas, but REALLY want my gnucash back.
67
68 Thanks in advance for any help
