-How to install gnucash on SuSE
-==============================

-
-Notes:
-
-- This is only one way to get GnuCash running on SuSE. I did test
-  that, but there might be errors anyway, and of course you do all at
-  your own risk. If you find errors, you might report them to the
-  gnucash mailing list (gnucash-devel at gnucash.org)
-
-- This is for SuSE 7.2, 7.3 and 8.0 (Intel). Earlier SuSE 
-  distributions lack some required packages. Later SuSE distributions 
-  didn't exist at the time of writing.
-  NOTE: You can install new packages to older versions of SuSE from
-        CD or ftp.suse.de or ftp.suse.com
-
-- This howto is primarily intended for compiling from source.
-  If you install the rpm, you don't need the various dev packages
-  (However, you won't see this howto until you installed the 
-  GnuCash rpm succesfully ;-).)
-
-- The current stable version is gnucash-1.6.x,
-  the current development version is gnucash-1.7.x.
-
-Let's go:
-
-* Make sure you have a running system, including X and gnome
-  (and don't forget the development packages)
-
-* Download g-wrap from
-    ftp://ftp.gnucash.org/pub/g-wrap/
-  For the 1.6.x version you need g-wrap-1.2.1
-  unpack and untar, then
-  ./configure, make, su, make install
-
-  For the 1.7.x version you need g-wrap-1.3.2
-  g-wrap-1.2 and g-wrap-1-3 are NOT compatible. If you want to
-  use both the stable and the development version of GnuCash
-  see the notes at the end of this file.
-
-* Download GnuCash
-  stable version:
-    http://www.gnucash.org/pub/gnucash/sources/stable/gnucash-1.6.x.tar.gz
-  development version:
-    http://www.gnucash.org/pub/gnucash/sources/unstable/
-  and unpack it
-    tar xzf gnucash-1.y.x.tar.gz
-* Alternatively get GnuCash from cvs
-    cvs -d :pserver:cvs at cvs.gnucash.org:/home/cvs/cvsroot login (password guest)
-    cvs -d :pserver:cvs at cvs.gnucash.org:/home/cvs/cvsroot checkout gnucash
-    (this will get you the latest development version)
-
-* The lib directory contains packages that are needed to build GnuCash
-  but are not widely available yet. Read the file lib/README for details.
-
-* Make symbolic link for every file in /opt/gnome/share/aclocal
-  to /usr/share/aclocal (or tell me how to modify the automake setup
-  so that it looks in /opt/gnome/share/aclocal for input ;-))
-
-* Configure, build and install gnucash. Installation must probably be
-  done as root, the files go to various places in /usr/local.
-
-    cd gnucash-1.y.x
-    ./autogen.sh
-    make
-    su root -c "make install"
-
-  To build GnuCash 1.7.x you need to add the argument --host=i686-pc-linux-gnu
-  to the autogen.sh command (at least with SuSE 8.0).
-
-* You may need to run GnuCash once as root, because guile needs to set up
-  some things for slib. Alternatively you can try as root:
-    guile -c "(use-modules (ice-9 slib)) (require 'new-catalog)"
-
-* If want to send a patch, you need the makepatch perl module, which can
-  be found at:
-    ftp://ftp.cpan.org/pub/CPAN/authors/Johan_Vromans/makepatch-2.00a.tar.gz
-  unpack and untar, then
-  perl Makefile.PL, make, su, make install
-
-
-Installing GnuCash 1.6 and 1.7 to one system:
----------------------------------------------
-
-It is quite tricky to have the stable and development versions of
-GnuCash running on one system, because they need incompatible
-versions of g-wrap (1.2.1 resp. 1.3.2).
-
-On my system I have GnuCash 1.6.x and g-wrap-1.2.1 installed in the
-usual location (/usr/local/).
-
-GnuCash 1.7.x is installed in /opt/gnucash/test_install/cvs_head
-g-wrap-1.3.2 is installed in /opt/gnucash/g-wrap-latest
-
-To compile GnuCash 1.7.x I do:
-
-export PATH=/opt/gnucash/g-wrap-latest/bin:$PATH
-export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/opt/gnucash/g-wrap-latest/lib:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH
-
-./autogen.sh --prefix=/opt/gnucash/test_install/cvs_head 
- --with-g-wrap-prefix=/opt/gnucash/g-wrap-latest --host=i686-pc-linux-gnu
-
-make
