upgrade question

[Charles M. Gajan]

Thank you for the help.  I had a pretty good idea that this would be the
case, but I would have been remiss not to ask and later find out I could
have made a simple link to repair it.  

After all rightly or wrongly since I was upgrading a system that was
program dependency sound would maintain those relationships if a program
(in this case gnucash, but also xine and others) had a more advanced
version).  Oh well.  

I uninstalled gnucash, gnucash-devel, gnucash-ofx, and gnucash-docs
(from 1.8.0 because that is what rpm told me to do).  I then installed
Bill Nottingham's package, then reran update-finance-quote as gnucash
told me to.  Everything then worked pretty well except the scatter plot
reports.  My pie chart works, and the balance sheet works, but the
scatter plots based on the price database fails with: "Report error An
error occurred while running the report."  

Any ideas?
Thanks again,
Chas
