Hi, I tried to install the gnucash binary gnucash-1.1.23-4.i386.rpm (there seems not to be a binary version for version 26) and I got:
% rpm -i gnucash-1.1.23-4.i386.rpm failed dependencies: libreadline.so.3 is needed by gnucash-1.1.23-4 libguile.so.3 is needed by gnucash-1.1.23-4 libXmHTML.so.1.1 is needed by gnucash-1.1.23-4 libXm.so.1 is needed by gnucash-1.1.23-4 even though I have libguile.so.3 and libXm.so.1 in /usr/local/lib.
If you installed libguile from source instead of rpm, the rpm program knows nothing about it. Rpm does NOT look around for the files needed, it simply looks in its database of stuff installed with the rpm program. If you are absolutely certain that all the dependencies are satisfied through source packages, you can tell rpm to install anyway with the option --nodeps
libreadline.so.3 lacks indeed, but I could not install it from its rpm:
% rpm -i readline-2.1-5.i386.rpm failed dependencies: /sbin/install-info is needed by readline-2.1-5
These are only the simplest problems, it seems, in installing gnucash. Can anyboby help with the first steps on this quest please?
I hoped to jump over problems like this by installing the binary, but that doesn't seem to make thangs easier than installing from the sources...
