Thanks to you both for your very prompt replies. Using 1.2.5 was a
mistake. I certainly had meant to use the most recent version so I
appreciate your pointing it out to me. So, I tried 1.4 but I can't get
it to compile, even after upgrading guile to 1.4, which required
upgrading glib to 1.2.8, and gtk to gtk+ 1.2.8. ./configure ends with
the following error message:
checking for remove... yes
checking for shmat... yes
checking for IceConnectionNumber in -lICE... yes
checking for deflateEnd in -lz... yes
checking for jpeg_read_scanlines in -ljpeg... yes
checking for png_read_image in -lpng... no
checking for XpmReadFileToXpmImage in -lXpm... yes
./configure: gnome-config: command not found
checking gtk-xmhtml/gtk-xmhtml.h... configure: error: Cannot find
gtk-xmhtml.h. See the README for more info.
Gnome seems to work but SuSE didn't seem to put a 'gnome-config'
anywhere. Any further suggestions? Do I have to compile gnome to get
gnome-config? Or is it just a problem of configure not finding where
SuSE puts things (I've gotten the impression the SuSE sometimes puts
things in unexpected places.)
Also, is gnucash-devel the right place to ask these questions? I don't
believe there is a separate list devoted to help questions but I'd be
happy to use it instead. Thanks in advance for any additional help!
Regards,
Andy
