Thanks, I missed the specific installation page and just tried to install from the generic dependency page, trying to guess the actual package names. I had missed a few, but it looks like that was not the issue though. Turns out that I had to switch from the nouveau graphics driver to the

Jacob, The reports use Scheme which is implemented in the Guile libraries so they are a likely candidate. The dependencies for V3 are listed https://wiki.gnucash.org/wiki/Dependencies which is a breakout from the general instructions for building at https://wiki.gnucash.org/wiki/Building and

Hi again I got back up and running. Turns out that reports are broken in my build. Opening any report like profit/loss or cashflow report will cause my system to lock up to a point where I have to do a hard reset. Not sure how that can be accomplished on a modern kernel, but probably some

Hi Geert I'm starting a backup now to prepare for upgrade, I don't think I will do more in this direction. I tried this in both Ubuntu Mate 18.04 and Mint 19.1 in VMs, and both looked fine. So just backing up and running a long overdue upgrade instead. I'm pretty sure Mate runs on X11

Hi Jacob, I don't think the missing gwengui-gtk3 package is related. We anticipated it would not be available on several distros by the time gnucash 3 would be released. So if that package is not found, gnucash will be built with an internal copy of this package. So regardless of whether your

Hi Geert This is Mint on the Mate desktop. I found this from the configure log that seems related: "No package 'gwengui-gtk3' found" This package is not available in the Ubuntu 16.04 base, but was introduced in 18.04. If this package is critical to GnuCash then it seems the configure script

Jacob, I build GC 3.4 on Linux Mint Tara (19) and don't see any problems with the summary bar or status bar if I open or close them. There were a few slight visible differences moving from gtk-2 to gtk-3 as Geert mentioned. It may also be worth looking at the dependencies for the gtk3 library and

The summary bar is using stock gtk widgets. So if there's a library dependency issue it would be gtk or one of its dependencies. Note gnucash switched from gtk2 to gtk3 between gnucash 2.6 and 3. This has lots of visual side effects because gtk3's default styling is quite different from

Hi Not sure if this is a dev or user question, but I suspect the people who can answer are devs. I am trying to get 3.4 to run on Mint 18.3 (Ubuntu 16.04 base). I have gotten it to build, but the summary bar on the accounts tab is screwed up. If I click it, it looks somewhat fine, but if I
