The g-wrap rpm package I installed under Suse 7.0 was 0.9.4.  When I trie=
d to=20
install the RPM packages for gnucash 4.9/10 It kept asking for libguile.s=
o.9,=20
which I obtained as a rpm and installed, the libguile installed in=20
/usr/local/lib (which is part of the ld_lib path, and I set up a guile=20
environment as per the docs pointing to this directory as well.  In /usr/=
lib,=20
libguile.so.6 is in place which is required for other packages that I am=20
currently using.  But, just to be sure, I also symlinked the 9.so package=
 and=20
moved the 6.so package to see if that made a difference.  The result was =
the=20
same, gnucash 1.4.9/10 (rpm) refuses to see the libguile.so.9 package.  W=
hen=20
I went to compile the source code, it came up with the error above, so I'=
ve=20
continued to use gnucash 1.4.3 which for the most part fullfills my basic=
=20
bookkeeping needs.  Although, I would like to see "year-end" utilities ad=
ded=20
to the next version:-)  When I was running windooze, I used quicken, and =
that=20
was one of the things I liked about, that gave me the ability to keep the=
=20
data file to a reasonable size.  Also, it would be nice to have a export=20
utilty to export data for tax software as well:-)  (BTW, is there any tax=
=20
software available for linux?)

Thanx Loads
