Re: [GNC] House renovation Expense or Asset?

Thank you for your responses. At this stage there are no taxation issues, such as capital gains, to take into account as I'm living in S.E. Asia. I am just looking at a simplified way of recording all expenses incurred in connection with the renovation. I have an asset parent account set up as

Nope. Just: sudo apt autoremove will do. Then run the rm commands. After that, there should be nothing left of gnucash’s prior installation. Regards, Adrien > On May 11, 2018, at 4:32 PM, Dennis Powless wrote: > > Ok > Do I have to include anymore information or just

You can run the dpkg command. I don’t suspect it will remove anything extra. If not, then you can proceed with the rm commands. You might want to take a look at those directories. It’s possible they are now empty, but the directories were not removed. (It seems /etc/gnucash is gone now however)

Dennis, The instructions for v3.1 should work. The only problem I had when i compiled 2.6.21 after upgrading to 3.1 was that I had installed guile 2.2.3 and v 2.6.21 looks for guile-1.8 or guile-2.0. It is possible to have several versions of the guile libraries and headers installed as they
