Hi, Steve! I ran into exactly the same problem attempting to install gnuCash about six months ago. Some of those 'numerous packages' required other packages to be installed, if I remember correctly, and in the end I just gave up on it. Developers should include ALL necessary packages required to run their app in the download of the app itself. The only exception I can see to that is Java. It should especially be true of esoteric auxillary programs. Well, I loaded MoneyDance 2.0 and found it to be quite satisfactory. JLK steveaux@my-Deja.com wrote:

Hi!

I run SuSE 6.1 at home and recently decided to try installing gnucash. The README.SuSE file warns of numerous packages needing to be installed before gnucash will work. I have tracked most of these down. Version numbers seem especially important in some cases.

I lack only guile-core-19980818.tar.gz (but have guile_1.3.tar.gz) and readline-2.1-5.i386.rpm. These files no longer can be found where the README.SuSE file says they can. Does anyone either:

(a) know where these exact packages now live on the net, (b) know of suitable (i.e. working with your successful installation of gnucash) substitutes, (c) know from experience that the lastest version of gnucash doesn't need these libraries or needs others instead? or (d) use gnucash on 6.3 (I ask because a few packages that came with 6.1 don't work and I'm not going to upgrade to get something that doesn't work.

Thanks for the help.

Stevo
