Umm, seen this before. There is a bug in KPACKAGE which makes it report failed dependencies. Try using rpm in a console and see if it reports the same.

For all those individuals that have been asking about GNUCash. The new version works fine. Just read the README about SuSE 6.3 and make gnome.

I did all the above and gnucash did indeed compile and install ok. When I run it however I get messages such as:

/opt/gnucash/bin/gnucash ERROR: In procedure open-file: ERROR: No such file or directory: "/usr/share/guile/slib/mklibcat" gnucash: [W] "failure loading ""/opt/gnucash/share/gnucash/scm/c-interface.scm" ERROR: In procedure open-file: ERROR: No such file or directory: "/usr/share/guile/slib/mklibcat" gnucash: [W] "failure loading ""/opt/gnucash/share/gnucash/scm/prefs.scm"

This seems to be a problem with slib / guile. Anyone know what I must do to get gnucash to run?

Just what I was writing about. Either you don't have those packages installed, or they are not in the locations GNUcash expects them to be. So, you either have to search the web for the missing packages and install them, making sure you have the correct version, or you must add their paths to $PATH. Either one is a 'pain-in-the-neck'. What do I do? Uninstall GNUcash and wait till they get their act together.

I hate to increase the noise on this list but I've had no constructive replies about getting gnucash to work. Hasn't anyone managed to get gnucash to run?

I succeeded over the weekend - using SuSE 6.3. I downloaded the .tar.gz file from the gnucash.org server. There are instructions for installing on a 6.3 included and I followed them to the letter. You can compile with one of three options: gnome, motif, or qt. The only one that worked for me was the gnome option. I tried both 1.3.1 and 1.3.3 and both work. However, in 1.3.3, the QIF import feature seems to be broken and crashes the program. 1.3.1 seemed to work ok, as far as I was able to determine. I didn't have time to run it through its paces.
