Thanks Derek.

I have moved on to version 2.0.2 and successfully compiled and installed it. I 
had libOFX but didn't know that you had to pass a parameter to get it 
included. So that is now working.

However, I am still having problems with the help files.

I downloaded gnucash-docs-2.0.1 and configured, compiled and installed the 
help files but to no avail. The help info cannot be accessed from the help 
menu.

I again ran gnucash with debug and loglevel 6 and found the following error in 
the trace file:

Enter in gnc-hooks.c: gnc_hook_run()list hook_ui_post_startup, data (nil)
Enter in gnc-hooks.c: gnc_hook_lookup()name hook_ui_post_startup
Leave: gnc_hook_lookup()hook list 0x8154e98
Leave: gnc_hook_run()
Debug: gnc_gnome_help(): Attempting to opening help file gnucash-guide.xml
Error: gnc_gnome_help(): There was an error launching the default action
                             command associated with this location

In my system, all of the gnucash files are installed 
in /usr/local/share/gnucash.
The help files are installed in /usr/local/share/gnome/help/gnucash
When configuring, I just accepted the default.

Tom.
