How to install gnucash???
How can I install gnucash on suse 9.1 personal. I tried packman. It has a listing for gnucash 1.8.8 for suse 8.2. I thought this would be good enough. So I tried to install it. Packman listed 5 dependencies. I tried to install the first one. It listed another dependency libosp.so.3. I could not find a source for a libosp rpm. I gave up. There must be an easier way or is personal 9.1 missing to much to be useful? Mike

It's on the cd's. Or try SuSE's ftp site. Rich -- Rich Matson Reno, Nv. USA

I have 9.1 personal, one disk, and, as far as I and & YaST can tell there is no gnucash. I located all of 9.1 rpms on the suse ftp site. I can download gnucash, but when I try to install it, YaST lists about 33 depencies. I have no idea how to resolve them. Am I missing something. With Mandrake, urpmi would satisfy dependencies automatically. Mike

Why not just point your source installation to one of the FTP directories. Then, you have the ability to install ALL the packages from the 9.1 distro and not just the ones on the personal ISO you downloaded. gnucash is there: gnucash-1.8.8-49 and when you select it, all of the dependencies get added as well. good luck, brian -- Brian Jackson Photo Sports ~ Editorial ~ People ~ Travel ~ Events http://www.BrianJacksonPhoto.com

You can use the apt front end and install gnucash.

I don't have apt and it is not on the single 9.1 personal disk. How do I get apt. Since debian is usually several kernels behind, isn't there compatibility issues with the apt source list and the current suse version? Mike

It's not on the Professional Disks either. It's been covered a number of times here on the list so you can check the archives for Suse+apt or do a google search for it. Fortunately Richard Bos, a member of this list, is heavily involved in it, so you can be sure that there is information available for Suse. Mike

Umm.... yes it is. I have SuSE 9.1 installed right now on the system that I am composing this email on. For suse 9.1 it lives here: suse/i586/gnucash-1.8.8-49.i586.rpm For suse 9.2 it lives here: suse/i586/gnucash-1.8.8-69.i586.rpm I even upgraded gnucash on my 9.1 box to the one from the 9.2 disk. Needed to upgrade openhbci, but that was pretty easy. brian -- Brian Jackson Photo Sports ~ Editorial ~ People ~ Travel ~ Events http://www.BrianJacksonPhoto.com

Apt, which had become the point under discussion, is not on the Professional disks.

Hey Guy this is no problem !! Try adding a Suse mirror to your installation source. Control Center/Yast2 Moduals /Software/Change Source of Installation /Add/FTP/and then add a mirror in your vicinity. Good Luck and have fun Paul Ryan

well, I tried, and tried, and tried, but couldn't get one to take. I tried adding ftp.ale.org pub/suse/i386/9.2/ and a bunch of different ways, with/withou leading/trailing slashes.. -- Paul Cartwright Registered Linux user # 367800

Thanks to all that replied! Current status is: I've downloaded and installed apt and apt-lib. Then I did and apt-get update to sync host client repositories and finally did apt-get upgrade, which took hours and three attempts to complete. I am now in the process of testing my system. At least one thing (kwintv) no longer works. If all else looks good, I will apt-get install gnucash, to get back to my original quest! Mike

Ok I get the picture, you really wanted the package. :) I haven't used apt for upgrading the system, just updating and installing packages that I want. Please keep us (me?) informed of any niggles. I have a system that I might do this on (now at 9.0). Mike
