Compile Guncash

So, that did not go very well.  Why so complicated....

So, I followed the instructions as provided....
http://wiki.gnucash.org/wiki/Building#Ubuntu

sudo apt-get build-deb gnucash

I did not need to purge....

I did the cd the desktop folder then the cash folder (i extracted the files
too)...

./configure --prefix=/usr/bin/gnucash/to --enable-compile warnings
 --with-html-engine=webkit

then...

sudo checkinstall



then i named the doc package.... packagegnucash

then I ran

sudo dpkg  -i
/home/dennis/Desktop/cash/gnucash-2.6.5/gnucash_2.6.5-1_amd64.deb

THIS BELOW IS THE TERMINAL OUTPUT.....

dennis at dennis-Linux123:~$ sudo dpkg -i
/home/dennis/Desktop/cash/gnucash-2.6.5/gnucash_2.6.5-1_amd64.deb
(Reading database ... 189830 files and directories currently installed.)
Preparing to unpack .../gnucash_2.6.5-1_amd64.deb ...
Unpacking gnucash (2.6.5-1) over (2.6.5-1) ...
Setting up gnucash (2.6.5-1) ...
dennis at dennis-Linux123:~$


I can not get gnucash to run.




I then tried to double click on the .deb file and it takes me to ubuntu
software center....

I then see an error message....

Breaks existing package 'gnucash-docs' that conflict: 'gnucash'. But the
'/home/dennis/Desktop/cash/gnucash_2.6.5_amd64.deb' provides it via:
'gnucash'


Thanks,


Dennis
