Nothing works on Red Hat

[Karl F. Larsen]

Hi Chris, well even version 1.66 shipped with red hat 8.0 does not work 
on my Workstation load of this version. It has permission problems when 
there ARE no problems with the gnucash system that selects where to 
store it's files. It comes up with strange failure notices and I have to 
kill the the dam thing.

I still have Red Hat 7.3 set up and will test with the version that 
comes with it. If that fails I will cancel this list and consider 
gnucash a total failure.
