[GNC] gnucash-user Digest, Vol 279, Issue 20

[rsbrux]

It's exactly because of the text you quote below that I chose the directory:
/var/lib/flatpak/app/org.gnucash.GnuCash/current/active/files/share/guile/site/2.2/gnucash/reports/standard/

This is where the standard reports are located in a flatpak installation.

This is the report I am trying to use;
https://github.com/apowell656/gnucash-financial-radar/blob/main/financial-radar-5.15.scm
and it does include
define-module
define report-name
and
define report-guid

statements

Am I missing something?
Thanks for your help!
