[GNC] Linux. Mysql and Gnucash 4.1

[Adrien Monteleone]

It offers 4 backends:

XML (default)
SQLite
MySQL/MariaDB
PostgreSQL

You have to install the desired backend libs in most cases to be offered 
the option of using it.

The default requires no special effort.

Many Linux distros also come with SQLite support by default, so mileage 
varies.

MySQL/Maria & Postgres almost always require intentional lib 
installation and if I'm not mistaken, specific build flags.

Check the wiki for more specific and up to date info.

Adrien
