Gnucash @2.2.9_1 does not run on Leopard (OS X 10.5.6)

[jovo@…]

On a fresh (clewan install) OS X 10.5.6 installation Gucash cannot find nor initialize its preferences.

Already aspplied workarounds as described in ​Ticket 1955 and ​17950

Details: Intel iMac, OS X 10.5.6 Clean Install, XCode 3.1.2, XQuartz 2.3.2, MacPorts 1.710.

Attached are the output of the MacPorts GnuCash installation as well as the resultant installed base.

Attached result of launchctl list, inspired by ​a similar Fink issue Btw tried to install GnuCash with Fink but got stuck there on FinkCommander having some Perl5.8 issue.

And, investigating further... ​deactivate mesa workaround for dyld: Symbol not found: _gll_noop applied

	$ sudo port deactivate mesa
--->  Deactivating mesa
	$ sudo port -v upgrade outdated
Error: No ports found

Leaves me with:

gnc.bin-Message: main: binreloc relocation support was disabled at configure time.

(gnucash:21707): qof-CRITICAL **: qof_object_shutdown: assertion `object_is_initialized == TRUE' failed

Looked at how launchd works and I conclude this is the same issue as ​Ticket 16833

[jovo@…]

Fiddled around a bit with launchctl, such as launchctl -F load /Library/LaunchAgents/org.freedesktop.dbus-session.plist. Not everything is really clear to me, anayway, after shutdown and restart of the iMac the dbus daemon is active and the Dynamic session lookup ... errors are gone. Gnucash 2.2.9_1 is running :-)

I was on the verge of ditching GnuCash in favor of some alternative like ​Ledger and now can stick to GC.

Glad you got it working. I'm going to close this ticket.
