You don't say what OS/Distro you are using. On Linux, most distributions
already provide GnuCash. It was already explained in another email
how to install it on Ubuntu. On a Fedora based system you can just
run:
yum install gnucash
If you're on Windows, we have a setup.exe you can download and install.
If you're on a Mac, you do need to build it from source but again
that's fairly automated using the FINK or MacPorts projects.
I hope this helps,
