GnuCash on ArchLinux

[alarin at tuta.io]

Hey John

Do you know when is it going to happen when 2.8 is released? 
Problem is that none of the tips other guys suggested worked and in the meanwhile i found some other free accounting software but i still would like to test gnucash at some point.

B.wishes
Andres
