Thomas, thanks for the great help. I'm up and running, and yes my profit to P&L cross-foots, despite some issues. Guppi was a little tough. I first removed 1.8.9 and 1,8.10 to cleanup RPM only to find the Guppi RPM hard to find. I then reinstalled 1.8.9 to get Guppi. Reinstalling 1.8.9 didn't harm the RPM database once 1.8.11 was laid in. Tried to stick with 9.3 RPM's whenever I could find them. For those interested I tried to summarize what I did below: PACKAGES TO INSTALL (Suse release) g-wrap-1.3.4.tar.gz glib-devel-1.2.10-586.i586.rpm 9.1 gnome-libs-devel-1.4.1.7-666.i586.rpm 9.1 gtk-devel-1.2.10-877.i586.rpm 9.1 orbit-devel-0.5.17-328.i586.rpm 9.1 imlib-devel-1.9.14-180.8.i586.rpm 9.1 libxml-devel-1.8.17-374.i586.rpm 9.3 db1-devel-1.85-89.i586.rpm 9.3 gdk-pixbuf-devel-0.22.0-67.i586.rpm 9.3 gnome-print-devel-0.37-4.i586.rpm 9.3 libglade-devel-0.17-234.i586.rpm 9.3 gal-devel-0.24-218.i586.rpm 9.3 gtkhtml-devel-1.1.10-206.i586.rpm 9.3 libghttp-devel-1.0.9-649.i586.rpm 9.3 oaf-devel-0.6.10-441.i586.rpm 9.3 bonobo-devel-1.0.22-276.i586.rpm 9.3 gnucash-1.8.11.tar.gz 9.3 ISSUES (descending severity) Printing loses account description. Blue underlines on main UI. Couldn't locate a gttp_enable_ssl either. Among minor startup messages was: gtkrc:37: error: unexpected identifier `gtk-alternative-button-order', expected keyword - e.g. `style' SUMMARY Toughest and lengthiest part was just finding the right packages. All in all I can live with most of the issues, though it would be nice to get a decent report. Thanks again Thomas and for the education on build gnucash. cs --- Thomas Spahni <tsp <at> lawbiz.ch> wrote: > On Thu, 28 Jul 2005, C S wrote: > > > Up and running, it's not pretty but will take > awhile > > to prove out though. > > > > 1) Tried source compile (ugh), forget it. > > Hi everyone, > > I have compiled gnc from source on a few different > SuSE distributions and > found it the most convenient way to update. > > Needless to say that you have to install all > required '*.devel' packages > but this is fairly easy with yast. > > First get g-wrap-1.3.4 source and compile/install > separately.
