Thanks. Yes, I think xulrunner seems missing or not working. Hard for me to
see how to solve that. But as you will read in a bit GnuCash has priority
now...

I see. Ok, not to worry.

OK. Well on start-up of GnuCash I get an error pop-up saying:

*An Error occurred while loading or saving configuration information for
GnuCash. Some of your configuration settings might not work properly*.
I cannot remove this error but I can try to settle it by clicking on setup
on a another screen that says:
*Cannot find default values. The configuration data to specify default
values for GnuCash cannot be found in the default sytem locations. Without
this data GnuCash will still operate properly, but it may require some extra
time to setup. Do you wish to setup the configuration data?*
. When I chose update search path > GnuCash update search path things just
crash and in the Console I get these errors:

2/18/10 8:34:33 AM    [0x0-0x259259].org.x.X11[28422]    gnc.bin-Message:

`/etc/gconf/gconf.xml.system': No such file or directory

When I choose option two: You update the search path in~/gconf.path and open
the file to add:

xml: readwrite:$(HOME)/.gconf
xml:readonly:/opt/local/etc/gconf/gconf.xml.defaults

I realize these lines are already there!!

When I choose to skip setup GnuCash crashes as well.

Errors I found then:
