Hello Doug and Robert,
Thanks you very much indeed for the clear and concise instructions. I
have created the binary .rpm package, installed it and gnucash-2.0.3 is
working beautifully and the docs are really good. And I have filed your
email away for future reference.
My sincere thanks to the developers and all who have assisted me to get
this latest version working.
May the new year bring everyone of you everything you are hoping for.
