Are you wanting to use the gnucash program 1.8.11 in Simply Mepis, or to be
able to access your data files in gnucash 2.0 in Simply Mepis?

If you want to access your files, it should be as simple as copying them
over and trying to open them in gnucash 2.0.

If you want to use gnucash 1.8.11, you're in for a bit more excitement. It
may work if you satisfy all the dependencies - though you'd have to check
that on your own. Worst case, you'll have to build it yourself. Though it's
not clear to me why you'd want to run 1.8.11 when 2.2 is out.
