Josh,

   That would be wonderful! Gnucash is a great application when I can keep it
running. I had even worse problems with Red Hat. The only 'competition,'
Kmymoney2 is buggy, difficult to use, and one of the most ugly applications
I've seen ... and I'm not fussy about eye-candy. I'd much rather an
application work -- particularly without the need to move my hands from the
keyboard.

   Oh. OK. I'll re-install the g-wrap and slib from the distribution disks
and see what gnucash tells me then.

Thanks very much for your help,

Rich
