Quicken import; compiling errors

[Georg Roesler]

I tried to use gnucash.
First I took gnucash-1.4.9. My system is SuSE 7.1.

Importing *.QIF files with stocks resulted in error message:

    qif-parse:parse-action-field : unknown action field "ZinsEinX"
    qif-parse:parse-action-field : unknown action field "ZinsEinX"
    qif-parse:parse-action-field : unknown action field "VerkaufX"
....
after closing the import box one gets:

    /opt/gnome/share/gnucash/scm/qif-import/qif-to-gnc.scm:703:24: In 
procedure string=? in expression (string=? (qif-split:category split) 
acct-name):
    /opt/gnome/share/gnucash/scm/qif-import/qif-to-gnc.scm:703:24: Wrong type 
argument in position 2 (expecting ROSTRINGP): #f

and the program crashes (disappears).

So I imported one stock manually and ran gnc-prices: 

    groesle@stefan:~ > gnc-prices  gr.20010527122830.xac
    Opening file gr.20010527122830.xac

    Type error in argument 3 of xaccQueryAddDateMatchTT. Expected _p_time_t 
at /opt/gnome/bin/gnc-prices line 76.

I hoped that newer versions are better and tried to compile gnucash-1.4.12 
but I ended with:

This error was descibed in your list in february by dlphilip@bright.net using 
HR 6.1 and GC 1.4.11 but I did not find an answer.

So: what should I do? Better taking a WINDOWS-program?
