installing

[Pete Truog]

This application, gnucash, has got to be the absolute hardest application to 
install that I have ever run across.  There are links on the web page that 
don't point to anything but an empty directory, (guppi).  A discription of 
guppi (as used by gnucash) states that you need 0.35.5 or later, but when you 
click through the various links download->guppi->source all that shows up is 
Guppi-0.35.2.tar.gz.  Bear in mind that there is no link to a guppi web site 
anywhere.  And i'm only writing about Guppi, i've had similar problems with 
other dependencies.  I'm begining to suspect that this application is meant 
to be used soley by redhat/mandrake users.  From what I can see of the 
screenshots, the product gnucash seems like it's a pretty cool application.  
I wouldn't know though because i can't even get to the installation of the 
program because of the umpteen dependencies that are required with little to 
no aid in getting them installed properly on ones system.  

thanks,

frustrated
