Open Suse and Gnucash

[Derek Atkins]

Hi,

Thanks for the info.  You might want to contact the SuSE people and tell
them that they should add the yelp dependency to their gnucash package
so that Yast pulls it in automatically.  As for the libofx issue ---
yeah, you need to use the version that gnucash was built against; not
much that they can do to make sure you don't pull one in from a
different repo.

PS: in the future you might want to send this to the gnucash-user
mailing list instead of to me personally.   I've forwarded it there.
