[GNC] Deb 3.4.0.1 not working for me in ubuntu 18.04

[Adrien Monteleone]

See my replies in this thread on -devel starting here: https://lists.gnucash.org/pipermail/gnucash-devel/2019-January/043146.html

I gave up, as I figured at this point, building from source would be less hassle. (I don’t need it anyway, I use GC on Mac daily - I was just testing the .deb)

If it helps, I could keep going down the rabbit hole and report back my findings.

More useful though would be to solve why GnuCash is looking for the 1.58 version instead of 1.65 like for you and others, or whatever is current on the machine. (in this case I had just upgraded to 1.67)

Note too, I had previously (when I was running Xenial) built 3.x from source, also to test the build instructions and do some other user-space bug testing in that environment. Perhaps the removal procedure didn’t cleanup after itself completely. (I used the recipe on the wiki which uses the original build directory)

Regards,
Adrien
