GnuCash 2.3.4

I would love to see this released. When I check it shows version 2.2.9. It would be nice to have a much newer version of this.

An svn-build will check for the latest version and install that.
I sent a comment to the AUR since gnucash-2.3.x series adds support for Webkit and database back-ends using libdbi - all these are not reflected in gnucash-svn build script.

Splash screen in open office, gnucash, etc

The splash screen in open office, gnucash, and other applications are really annoying especialy in old systems where it takes lot of time to start and you cannot do other things with that splash thing on your face. I have seen that this does not happen in kde. Is there a way to disable it in xfce4?

Gnucash and gnucash-docs don't seem to like one another.

I am trying the gnucash application out. But even though I have installed the gnucash-docs package, gnucash says that it can't find it. Is this a bug or just me being an old <expletive deleted>? Where should it find it's docs? And where does gnucash-docs install them?

Geesh....it's been over a year and this is *still* listed as a LOW PRIORITY bug. <- How can a missing dependency, with full documentation in the bug report as to it FIRM and ABSOLUTE requirement be listed as such ? Sigh......
( I am guessing this bug report and thread were on the DEV's "to-do-list" but somehow, over time, been forgotten. Hmmmm, what to do about reminding him ? )

Installing gnucash

I have tried fink and well as the make utility to install gnucash - a quicken clone. In both cases, I have run into conflicts with X11. "Make" stops on "Can't find SLIB" which is a library under xfree86, I think. And "fink", while trying to build slib, says "perl581-core" not found, even though I have perl5.8.6.
I can't remember the "X11 by Apple" vs XFree86 debate. I think it was the Apple version used Quartz, but that difference may not be true anymore.
Ideas are welcome. Thanks.

I haven't finished doing the MacPorts install, but I'm pretty sure I know how to get around the problems. So I mark this as answered to get it off the unanswered list.

Does Gnucash work with Mavericks?

I am running Mountain Lion on my Macbook Air and wish to download Mavericks but am concerned with issues relating to third party software. I am particularly concerned about Gnucash. Does anyone know of any problems?
Thanks

Works fine. As long as your host is still working fine. I upload with Fetch.Always have and still can. iWeb itself is no loger available unless you can chase down or still have an iLife DVD which included it. But like iDVD (which has also no longer available) it will not be supported any further, but the last updated version still works fine at the moment. Although the way and at the pace that things are changing these days, it may well pay to start learning to use another program such as Dreamweaver.

Gnucash latest update has gconf problems

Hi,
The latest update of gnucash, 2.2.9-3, when started has a 'default values cannot be found' error for gconf.
I have updated the home .gconf.path file and installed into home directory as directed by the wizard that runs when I try to start gnucash.
The command update-gnucash-gconf stops with an error to do with schemas, which appear to be in another directory, not in the dir the script expects.
Anyone know how to fix this?
Thanks for any help.

[SOLVED] Trouble with Install that I've never seen before (Gnucash)

Hello all! I am rather new to Arch. I came over from Windows (disgruntled up to Win 7). When I first came over to Linux I did so via Ubuntu (12.04 and 13.10) and Mint (16). Seeing that Ubuntu would love to eventually sell us all out I decided to give Arch a try and LOVED IT! The install went smoothly and almost every program that I have needed has installed flawlessly..That is with the exception of Gnucash. I do a lot of freelance bookkeeping work and Gnucash is most definitely the best program I have found out there (even when I was using Windows). I have tried to install from BOTH the official repository and the AUR with no luck. I am using a 64 bit install of Arch on a Dell Inspiron 1440. All of my packages and repositories have been updated through pacman -Syu and -Syy. Below is the results message that I receive when trying to install from EITHER repository (AUR version is what I have posted). It shows that there appear to be two corrupt packages. If any of you can guide me in the right direction as to how to possibly rectify my trouble I would be most appreciative. (Also: if I am posting this in the wrong area please let me know where the better place would be.)

GnuCash 2.6.6 and custom reports

I've just spent a bit of time trying to figure out why 2.6.5 -> 2.6.6 had caused custom reports to fail. I'm not fluent with Guile or Scheme, and my custom reports are just hacks of files copied from those supplied with the package with help from GnuCash documentation.
WIth a lot of trial and error, and a hunch that the fix for bug 619899 regarding how .scm files are processed was causing the problem (especially after following the link given in Comment 7 there re. the use of intltool/xgettext), I've got it working with "s/N_ /_ /", changing the format of all the internationalisation strings. All those which were part of the packaged .scm file needed to be changed, though, not just ones I'd entered.
Does this make sense to anyone? As I say, I don't really know what I'm doing, so don't know if it's an Arch-specific problem, a bug with GnuCash or with another package that needs reporting, or an error on my part.

Thanks.
I will be doing a reinstallation tomorrow morning because I think I screwed everything up.
Here's another question.
If I do a system update, which will install a kernel update, should I generate a new image using mkinitcpio?
Better yet, should I just generate a new image upon doing a successful boot without the update?
1. No, the install script for the kernel package will take care of building a new image.
2. I really don't see any point in doing this either. It is true that there are times the image requires rebuilding (as stated above) but if you install with the newest iso you'll already have a working image upon boot.
Have you tried 0.8-beta iso?

Gnucash, from aur, and fatal error at start...

Hi!
I have compiled and installed gnucash from aur, but then I run it and shows an error...:
$ gnucash
ERROR: no code for module (g-wrap gw-glib)
any idea?

gnucash is currently orphaned, and there are errors in the PKGBUILD - specifically, the dependencies are not entered correctly, which is presumably the reason why you haven't installed them. Change the depends line to this:
depends=('gtkhtml' 'aqbanking' 'g-wrap' 'goffice' 'libgnomeprintui')
and rebuild/reinstall it, after building/installing the dependencies.
General advice - always read the comments on AUR packages.

File conflict libgtop 2.14.6-1 and gnucash 2.0.4-3

The recent upgrade of libgtop, namely libgtop version 2.14.6-1, made a conflict with gnucash.
Both libgtop and gnucash want to create the file: /opt/gnome/share/info/dir. Since Archlinux does not use info packages, I think that this file should be removed by both gnucash and libgtop. I already added a comment on the webpage of the gnucash package in AUR. I just wanted to inform the people who packaged libgtop of this problem.

twelveeighty wrote:...I assume this is an out-of-date issue on virtualbox-host-modules? If so, is there a way to expedite an update to virtualbox-host-modules?
Nope.
But, you might try again. I just upgraded and my virtualbox-host-modules upgraded to virtualbox-host-modules-4.3.12-2-x86_64
Edit: Never mind, I see you have the same version as do I.

Gnucash and print fonts

hi,
I've got problems with gnucash printing (including print previews) reports/invoices out in very large font faces. The display of the report is correct in the gui, arial 10pt.
I do believe its defaulting to Times, although it could be helvetica...not sure, but the main problem is the fontsize being defaulted to 12point and bigger.
I've searched all over the system for a config directive to be able to force gnucash to arial 10pt but haven't found anything.
Googleing the problem seems to yield the fact that many are having the problem, but the fixes are in regards to pre 2.0.
(Using gnucash from the community repo)
any help on this would be greatly appreciated.
thanks

I noticed you haven't had a reply for a while and thought I'd mention quickly that:
Unfortunately the font sizes when printing are controlled by gtkhtml and not gnucash directly. Apparently using the gnome control panel ... or whatever ... should allow you to adjust them but this has been fruitless for me under KDE.
The best suggestion I have seen is to export to HTML and adjust but that is a pain.
I just comment out the unneeded columns from the invoice.scm file and everything fits with the default font.
Sorry ... but that's it. Hopefully that will be something they address in future developments.

Compiling gnome-libs for gnucash

I'm trying to install gnucash. The dependencies include gnome-libs 1.4 . I'm compiling gnome-libs but I get an error:
#define art_alloc
#define art_free
#define art_realloc
#define art_new (type, n)
#define art_renew (p, type, n)
Description
These API functions are a set of wrapper functions around the OS-specific
memory management functions: they are used to keep the user-level code portable.
Their definitions are straighforward so we will not get into any details.
XXX: check for g_new behaviour when memory allocation problem.
Details
art_alloc
art_alloc#define art_alloc malloc
Same semantics as those of the standard C malloc function.
art_free
art_free#define art_free free
Same semantics as those of the standard C free function.
art_realloc
art_realloc#define art_realloc realloc
Same semantics as those of the standard C realloc function.
art_new()
art_new#define art_new(type, n) ((type *)art_alloc ((n) * sizeof(type)))
This macro is not equivalent to the glib g_new function. As
g_new, it takes two parameters: the type of the object to
instantiate as first parameter and the number of such objects to instantiate as
second parameter. It will return a dynamically allocated array of memory you can
use to store objects in. In case of failure of the memory allocation, it will
return NULL (this is very diffrent from g_new which does not
return in case of failure. g_new allways suceeds).typemake[4]: *** [html-build.stamp] Error 1

I already installed g-wrap & ORbit & slib . when i type "./configure" it exits very well without any errors. What dependency do I need or what is the problem? My archlinux is already upgraded. This error is when I type "make".
Thanks.

AFAIK the gtk2 port of gnucash has a long way to go before it is usable, hence the lack of attention given to it on the website.
But it is possible to run gnucash on archlinux - I've been doing this for a couple of months.
If you want to have a play with the pkgbuilds I used for this, grab http://www.burnett-hall.co.uk/~ojbh/arc … 722.tar.gz. There isn't anything too surprising in there; a few fixes for stuff like gcc-3.4, freetype2, etc.
Note that this includes a package I've called gdk-pixbuf-gnome-canvas. gdk-pixbuf is part of current, but does not include gnome1 support. You'll need to use --force or something to get pacman to install it.
gnome-libs build fine for me; I'm not sure what's causing the errors you got - they look very strange. Were you doing a parallel make or using some silly gcc optimisations?

[request] GnuCash 2.0.x

GnuCash 2.0.4 would be nice (currently latest version).
A bit off topic, but let me know by email if you like an Arch-specific binary installer for the Galaxium Messenger: http://www.gnomefiles.org/app.php/Galaxium+Messenger

This package is badly done. I just installed it but it requires an old version of goffice instead of being compiled against the one in -Current. But if that's not enough, if I do a symlink to the actual libgsf lib version it requires, it won't recognize it if it's on /opt/gnome/lib and only sees it if it's on /usr/lib/.
This package needs more testing IMHO, and I am talking about the actual package itself, not the gnucash code.
gnucash-bin: error while loading shared libraries: libgoffice-1.so.1: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
gnucash-bin: error while loading shared libraries: libgsf-1.so.113: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
libguile and gsf are also problematic with the dependencies. This application must be recompiled with the latest -current tree.

Gnucash and goffice.-Solved

Also, I am unable to upgrade gnucash 2.2.1 from aur.

If you want to go back to goffice-0.4.3, then latest gnumeric wont work.
It is really out of my understanding that why such a great software like gnucash, which is taking queken and MS Money head on, is getting little attention in arch
Last edited by ravisghosh (2007-10-28 13:27:59)

Sorry I've been kind of quiet on this issue. I have been working on it since it was brought up in the AUR comments. The good news is that I have developed a source fix for this so it will successfully build and link against goffice 0.5. I put the patch in the latest AUR release. Since I am not fluent with goffice, cairo, or even configure scripts, I cannot guarantee that this is absolutely correct, however, I can say that it builds and runs without problems on my machine. I'll try to push this issue up to the gnucash devs in the meantime. Please feel free to post comments here or in AUR about this.
