I installed gnucash 1.8.4 on mandrake 9.1

Basically, I did the ./configure and make then, for the errors it spits out I
install RPMs.  But I only used urpmi to install the packages.  I did not have 
to go to RPMfind.  I was able to get all the packages I needed through URPMI 
on either the mandrake 9.1 site, contribs, or Texstar's repository.
The libltdl3-devel-1.4.3-1mdk.i586.rpm for instance is in mandrakes 9.1
package.  No need to go to rpmfind.  It's probably on the CD also.

When you are using urpmi, you can search for specific files, and get the rpm
that contains them, you can search for parts of names for rpm's, or something
in the description of the rpm.  It really helped me when installing gnucash
on mandrake.

I did an install of gnucash on prior versions of mandrake when I didn't use
urpmi, and it was a lot harder than with urpmi.  So to any who is planning to
do this, I would definitely set up my urpmi sources and then go about
installing gnucash.
