[KLUG Members] gnumeric problem

[Bruce Smith]

I just completed an fresh install of BSware #16 on a spare machine.
I selected the "Workstation" / "Gnome" default install.

After the install, I started gnumeric from the menu without a problem.
I also started gnumeric from a terminal window without a problem and
without even a warning message.

I didn't use it much, other than to look at the menus (all fine).

I have no idea what you did differently.  Let me know if you'd like
me to try anything else on this machine before I blow it away.
