Re: QIF imports
It sounds like you may be using an older version of Moneydance (2.0.4 is the latest). You can upgrade by installing an updated 'moneydance.jar' file from http://moneydance.net/upgrade/ Let me know if after upgrading, the exported QIF file still has problems. Thanks, Sean Bill Gribble wrote: ... The first problem is that the split transaction is specifying a split to a Category called "SPFCU Checking", not an Account called "SPFCU Checking", and likewise for the savings account. Transfers from one account to another have to have square brackets around the account name, as in "S[SPFCU Checking]" The next problem is that the destination account transactions don't even indicate the source account as a Category, much less as an account. In order for Gnucash to know that these two transactions are opposite "halves" of the same financial event (and eliminate the duplication), the transactions in question must at least have the form of Quicken transfers. -- Gnucash Developer's List To unsubscribe send empty email to: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Re: speed?
Hendrik Boom [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes: The account I am editing has something like 7000 or so transactions. Could this be relevant? Yes. One way you can probably get substantial improvements in your everyday work is to set the register to only show the past 200 transactions or so. - because gtk+ imposes a scrolling area limit af 32K pixels, you have too handle scrollong at a higher level in the protocol. - the higher layer is written in guile, which is interpreted (like Java) - so scrolling slows down quite a bit. As Bill said, no guile in there. - deleteing a transaction involves recalculating sizes for the entire scroling area, and this also is done in guile, is interpreted, and so each deletion might end up taking the same order of magnitude of time as some of the analysis activities during importing. Nope. - Events are queued, and not subsumed. So if you press the up cursor three times in a row, you end up displaying the register in three separate positions, instead of counting up-cursor presses and moving the register three lines all at once. This may actually be part of the problem. ISTR that we've seen weird behaviors with the gnome canvas and exposures (which are related to scrolling) before. In those cases, I think it was acting as if it wasn't doing any batching as you've described. P.S. For what it's worth, my processor is a Pentium running at 39.73 BogoMIPS; 48 meg of RAM. I'm running SuSE Linux 6.3. That's a nice test platform for slower systems. I'd like to see us running well on systems near that speed if it doesn't force too many compromises in the design.

Re: Data type problems solutions
Christopher Browne [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes: GnuCash _does_ have a forcible dependancy on glib, so that depending on the "force-a-particular-width" typedefs in /usr/include/glib.h does not add any additional dependancies to GnuCash as a whole. I'd tend to think it a good idea to go through the code base and introduce rather a lot of "gint32" values throughout... Right.

Palm Pilot and GnuCash plans
Hello! I read the threads in the gnucash-devel about palm plans (in Mar and Apr). I think the correct way of making palm support is: - Writing the palmGnuCash, which has only a subset of the gnucash functionality - Writing ONE conduit for gnome-pilot and jpilot. All of them are gtk-based, so the graphical interface is not too different. The pilot-API may be quite different, but I think this must be solved quietly. I think I can make palmGnuCash, but I will only make the most important things: - New/Edit/Delete Accounts - New/Edit/Delete Transactions - Show Balances. All the other things are not necessary. Anyone interested in helping with this project? dLux -- "Ignorance is bliss." (Cypher, The Matrix) -- Gnucash Developer's List To unsubscribe send empty email to: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Re: Configure problem on FreeBSD
The problem appears to be with the
! test -x "${G_WRAP}";
statement, since if I remove it, configure continues
happily until a later similar statement:
! test -x "${GUILE}";
I think that should be test ! -x ... instead. Could you try that?
That change fixes it.
Also I'm unclear if the
Unknown library `xml'
messges indicate a problem or not.
Do you have libxml installed?
Yes. It's installed in /usr/local/lib and this check seems to
succeed:
checking for xmlDefaultSAXHandlerInit in -lxml... yes
Thanks,
Matt

Re: HELP: libguile.so.4
I have Mandrake 7.0. I am unable to install gnucash because my system does no have libguile.so.4. I have tried compiling earlier versions (1.3, 1.3.2) to s if it produces the version gnucash requires. I was not successful. How can on get ahold of libguile.so.4. It is in the guile-1.3 package (not guile-1.3.4). However, that would require you to downgrade your guile version, so you may be better off compiling gnucash from source. In that case, you will need to install swig (available from the gnucash website) and the -devel versions of the gnome libraries. dave -- Gnucash Developer's List To unsubscribe send empty email to: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Re: Configure problem on FreeBSD

I've just finished compiling it. I've had a couple of problems:
1) src/engine:
A couple of patches to Makefile.in
The first is because there were some -I's needed that were in GNOME_CFLAGS
and not GLIB_FLAGS (such as the gtk stuff)
The second may be related to the configure errors that I was getting
with the xml library, but the library was not found without adding

Couple of quick Q's
Now to make Dave sorry that he got me up on Gnucash :-) Moved everything out of Quicken and into Gnucash. Qif importer was pretty impressive. It did add my opening Visa as both a debit and a credit so my balance was off by that amount. Deleted both entries and put one back and then my checking and visa balances showed up perfectly. Great start! Click on Settings, Preferences, and then "Use accounting labels." Gnucash then dies with an error message. Turn it off and everything is fine, can reproduce at will. Also, in Quicken if today's date is 6.5.00 and I set a payment through online banking on say 6.24.00 Quicken shows two balances. One for today which does not include the amount to be deducted on 6.24.00 and one for the total including 6.24.00. I didn't realize how much I liked that feature until I couldn't find it in Gnucash. Any chance in getting it added? thanks for the hard work, alan -- Solaris Ultra/Intel Resources - http://www.mindspring.com/~dwarfie When you open your Windows you'll see a light blue sky filled with clouds.
