I'm using GnuCash on Suse 9.3. Overall, I'm fairly satisfied with the program, but it seems to be messing up its math. When I enter a check, it ignores the second decimal place when it figures the balance. For example, if the previous balance was $1972.50 and I write a check for $30.42, the resulting balance is $1942.10. Anyone else encounter this? Any fixes? I'm also pursuing this problem with GnuCash.org. T. Daniel

Works fine for me on the same setup, but using sterling. -- JDL

Personally speaking - Gnucash always was a nightmare for me. Never knew whether or not it was going to come up with something that did not balance. Finally installed Moneydance a couple of years ago. No problems since then. the best 25$ (or so) i've ever spent. no more chasing obscure libraries etc., currency conversions that work each time etc. have you tried it?

My original problem has been solved. Somehow a preference had been set improperly. If anyone else has this problem, I'll let you know what fixed it for me.

I'm not just wild about it myself, but at it'll do for right now.

I'll give it a try some time soon. Thanks for the suggestion. T. Daniel
