Gnucash on Slackware 10.1: Success

[Mark Johnson]

Thanks for putting that up.  It's not easy to get gnucash running on 
slackware.  I liked step one; it would have saved me a few days!

I offer two additional tips.

Step 9 could be simpler.  The DB1 packages are still included with 
Slackware 10.0 and 10.1.  Look in the pasture directory:
ftp://ftp.slackware.com/pub/slackware/slackware-10.1/pasture/

This is also found on disk 4 of my Slackware 10.0 distribution.  These 
worked fine for me.

One other thing I personally did differently was: "make 
DESTDIR=/sometmpdir install".  Then made that into a Slackware package 
(complete with install directory and slack-desc file), and finally 
installed the package.
