<application>GnuCash</application>-&gnucash-version; is a

</para>
<para><command>chown -R root:root /opt/gnome/share/gnucash/doc/html/html</command>:

ownership of the installed files are set incorrectly. This command changes the
ownership to root:root.</para>

<note><para><application>GnuCash</application> must be run as root once before
use. Simply executing <command>gnucash</command> from an
<application>X</application> terminal and clicking on the cancel button is
sufficient. This must be done prior to setting up accounts as an unprivileged
user, due to the fact that <application>GnuCash</application> must create
scheme catalogs for itself before it is used.</para></note>
