Compile Guncash

Fri Mar 27 00:31:52 EDT 2015

Ok, so when writing them to the email I may have messed up some items....
I did copy and paste them into terminal, so they were right...
However, the   /to    I'm sure I put that in there, but I don't see that
folder.

nevertheless, I was able to use the example plutocrat provided with the
getdeb... I added the repository and ran the code in terminal and it worked
like a charm....

however, I always seem to run into having to install programs vis a tar or
things like that.... is there a place I could read up on and learn how to
do this?

Thanks,

D
