Hello again, some of you may remember me.
I'm not sure if I'll have time to get into devlopment again. I'm not
quite as busy at work, but I'm taking a ballroom dancing instructor's
course, and that's eating up almost 20 hours a week.
But it'd sure be fun to do some scheme coding again...
I wanted to check out to see how you guys were doing, so I tried
building on a fairly fresh debian machine, with a task-ximian-gnome
installed from red carpet.
Here are the packages I would recommend adding to task-gnucash-devel:
autoconf
automake
m4
gettext
libgal-dev
libunicode-dev
liboaf-dev
libbonobo-dev
the guppi deb's on the server
the g-wrap deb's on the server
texinfo
Then for the tough one. I got an error about a missing require.scm.
When I did a find on require.scm, I found two of them in the system.
However, a mailing list search did get me something.
So I also had to do a:
ln -s /usr/share/slib /usr/share/guile/slib
I tried to run gnucash without a "make install" but I gave up.
then I got the
ERROR: Permission denied: "/usr/share/guile/slibcat"
so I ran it as root once.
I created a set of accounts (using the wizard). Before I added any
transactions or opening balances, I tried to save. This crashed it.
I did much the same thing, and it crashed again.
Then when I tried to run it, I got:

mkdir in expression (mkdir file-dir 448):
/usr/local/share/gnucash/scm/main-window.scm:126:39: No such file or
directory
I fixed that one by doing a "mkdir ~/.gnucash".
that'll be a trivial bug to fix, but I'm not sure what the first two
crashes were, and the info is gone now.
have fun
Bryan
