Recently did a fresh install of Slackware 8.1 and took the opportunity
to upgrade Gnucash to 1.6.6 (from 1.4.x, about time). Much easier
install than the 1.4.x install and it had no problem converting the
account files.
So kudos & thanks to the whole development team!
Slack 8.1 comes with almost all of the required libraries. Maybe I'll
get around to putting together a package and try to convince the
Slackware people to include Gnucash in the distro. Just for the record
(mainly so I can find it again), here are some notes:
Slackware 8.1, "install everything" (the lazy way out...)
then grabbed:
g-wrap-1.2.1.tar.gz (1.3.2 no good with this Gnucash)
slib2d4.zip
gnucash-1.6.6.tar.gz
unpack the tar.gz's
cd g-wrap-1.2.1 && ./configure && make && make install
cd /usr/share/guile/1.4.1 && unzip slib2d4.zip
then cd gnucash-1.6.6 and apply this patch to both lib/srfi/srfi-8.scm
and lib/srfi/srfi-2.scm
((or (string=? "1.3.4" (version))
+ (string=? "1.4.1" (version))
(string=? "1.4" (version)))
(got this patch from this mailing list)
then ./configure && make && make install
run first time as root (apparently to generate
/usr/share/guile/1.4.1/slibcat)
done.
thanks again!
