Getting Gnucash up and running on Solaris is a bit of a pain, but it's
definately worth it.  I recieved my upgrade letter from Intuit
yesterday,
smiled, and then filed it in the trash.  Felt good.  One of the biggest
drawbacks currently is that Gnucash is being coded towards Gnome.  Next
year when Sun drops CDE and starts shipping Gnome as the default desktop
the compilation on Solaris should be trivial.  Until then, your one of
the
few who can say, "I was there from the beginning." :-)
