A workaround it to set LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/lib/libglade/2.0 which is where libgnome.so is to be found.

After this the programm works as expected:

export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/lib/libglade/2.0

linking /usr/lib/<gnu triplet>/libglade -> /usr/lib/libglade makes gnucash work normally. So it seems like libraries that depend on libglade need to be multiarchified, in this case at least libgnomeui.

Thanks for multi-arch'ing the libgnomeui package.

I notice that libgnomeui-common was not marked "Multi-Arch: foreign", so when installing the i386 version on an x86_64 system the install fails.

Was this intentional or is it a bug?
