First, off. I've been using GnuCash for a long time and I really appreciate all the effort you guys put into it. Thanks!<BR>
<BR>
Now, after all this time I have a problem that I cannot for the life of me figure out myself or through your docs so I have to bug you with it. I'm running RedHat 8 and I used Red-Carpet to update my system last week. Everything seems to be working fine now except GnuCash. I get the following when attempting to start the program:<BR>

ERROR: In procedure dynamic-link:<BR>
ERROR: file not found</TT><BR>
<BR>
Any ideas what caused the problem and how I can make it work again?<BR>
<BR>
Thanks for any and all help.<BR>

OK, so in order to attempt to diagnosis this on my own I figured I would compile it and see which errors were reported and (hopefully) that would tell me which library is misbehaving. So I ran "./configure" and received the following output:<BR>
<BR>
<TT>checking for main in -lgal... Unknown library `gal'<BR>
no<BR>
configure: error: gal library not found. See the README and config.log for more info.</TT><BR>
<BR>
However, I have <TT>gal</TT>'s installed all over the place:<BR>
<BR>
<TT>[user@loclahost]~(8:39am)[71]->rpm -qa | grep gal<BR>
libgal18-0.18.1-ximian.1<BR>
libgal23-0.24-1.80.ximian.1<BR>
libgal21-0.23-1.80.ximian.1<BR>
libgal2.0_3-1.99.8-0.ximian.5.3<BR>
galeon-1.3.5-0.ximian.5.7<BR>
libgal19-0.19.2-4<BR>
libgal2.0_5-1.99.10-0.ximian.5.1<BR>
libgal7-0.8-7</TT><BR>
<BR>
How do I tell configure to use one of these installed <TT>libgal</TT>'s? I'm kind of behind the gun here as I need to balance my accounts, so any help would be greatly appreciated.<BR>
<BR>
Thanks,<BR>
Mike<BR>
