Bash outputs the prompt and then trat output continues. Probably it is a replaced script. My suggestions: - Do not run X as root! if thats even a kiddie's script, it could blow your system. - try starting gnucash with its absolute path: $ /usr/bin/gnucash - You may want to look this system output of my fc4, and verify you have the right scripts: [rodolfoap] /home/rodolfoap > file /usr/bin/gnucash /usr/bin/gnucash: Bourne shell script text executable [rodolfoap] /home/rodolfoap > cat /usr/bin/gnucash #!/bin/sh PATH="/usr/libexec/gnucash/overrides:${PATH}" export PATH GUILE_WARN_DEPRECATED="no" export GUILE_WARN_DEPRECATED exec "gnucash" "$@" [rodolfoap] /home/rodolfoap > file /usr/libexec/gnucash/overrides/gnucash /usr/libexec/gnucash/overrides/gnucash: Bourne shell script text executable [rodolfoap] /home/rodolfoap > cat /usr/libexec/gnucash/overrides/gnucash #!/bin/sh exec gnucash-env guile -e main -s "$0" "$@" !# (use-modules (gnucash main)) (define (main args) ;; UGLY HACK -- FIXME -- code should be rewritten to not need this. ;; In particular, we should be using gnc_scm_lookup where we're using ;; gh_lookup or gh_eval_str now.
