[GNC] Compiling and Installing Gnucash 2.6.12

[Paul Schwartz]

I just installed some Ubuntu updates including a new kernal, so I did a
reboot. Executing gnucash in a terminal window puts out a lot of warnings,
but the program starts and seems to be working as it used to.

Should I be worried about all of the warnings?

Thanks for all of your help! I would now like to pursue the issue of why
the newer balance sheet reports do not report the correct value for stocks
which have zero share entries in their register. Can you steer me in a good
direction?

Paul
