SX editor bug (?)
Using gnucash 1.7.0 from cvs dated 1/21/02. I recently had occasion to change the amount of the SX for my weekly pay (tax law changes...). The SX has three entries: a debit to Checking, a debit to Savings and a credit from Inc Sal. When I change the amount of the debit to checking and thru the rest of the line, I am presented with a empty register window rather than the next line in the SX (by "empty" I mean that all entries have disappeared from the window and I'm presented with an empty register line). If I press and the bring the SX back up into the editor, the change I made to the Checking debit is accepted, but the rest of the SX becomes unbalanced (I didn't get to off-set the debit change with a credit change). This happens regardles of which line I change. If I don't make a change, I can thru the lines normally.

Reconciling accounts on the CVS version
Hi folks. I just tried my hand at reconciling my checking account on the CVS version from January 9 and it didn't work out too well. The listed unreconciled Debits and Credits are those from the beginning of time (well, 1997, the beginning of time for this particular file, anyway). It marks one $30 transaction from Sept. of 2001 as to be reconciled. The calances are whacked out, too. It shows a beginning balance of $2172.88 (which is correct), and the ending balance I entered of $2477.53, a reconciled balance of $2202.88 (where this comes from I don't know, the only transaction marked is that $30 transaction from Sept) and a Difference of $274.65. I last reconciled the account in mid-December and all went well. When I perfom a search to Find all reconciled transactions, gnucash appears to find everything properly. Anybody else experince this sort of problem? Perhaps I'll do a cvs update tomorrow and see if the problem clears itself up.

Scheduled Transaction Templates
I've been playing around with SX "templates" where I create an SX with a set of variables to get filled in when the SX becomes due. I've run into these roadblocks, though: 1. The variables don't seem to like being blank, or 0. If I have blank variables, the SX will not complete. If I change then to 0.01, the SX will complete. It seems logical to me that blank variables would be treated as 0 and 0 value variables should be acceptable. Maybe I'm missing something... 2. I can't seem to use ordinary math functions within the variables (+/-). Say I've created a variable for Food/Groceries and have several Food/Grocery line items to add together. It wold certainly be convenient to just enter the line ites separated by '+' and have the variable get calculated. Unless, again, I'm missing something... 3. If I press , the cursor should go to the next variable entry block, but it doesn't. I've gotta hit tab twice. 4. Where variables get most cumbersome is when entering a credit card SX. I've tried to list all potential accounts that my Credit Card payment is going to need to update. But, invariably, something special will come up. It sure would be nice to have a screen where I can finalize the transaction, add accounts/amounts prior to posting it. As it stands now, that's done from within the Checking account, which I suppose is OK. But it sure would be nicer if it could be done from within the SX dialog. 5. I'd like to be able to post an SX even if it's outside the time frame assigned to it. Say an SX is scheduled to run 7 days prior to a particular date. I'd like to be able to run it 8, or 10 days prior without bringing up the SX dialog and editing it. BTW, I've finally updated from CVS, so I'm current. Doesn't look like jsled's gotten to do much with SXs, though. I guess he's fairly busy with other things. I wish I could lend a hand with coding, but I'm not much of a programmer. I know a little C++, but most of my coding experience is with BBx (Business Basic). If I knew what section of the code was handling this stuff, I might be able to make a little sense out of it. Possibly even contribute some code to address some of this. Then again, probly not. Anyway... I'll continue to work with it and post any suggestions or problems I might have.

Finally got around to trying this and it works. Seems like it's a good base, anyway. You need to provide a mechanism for entering a check number, at least. Also, with scheduled transactions in a checking account, it seems the only way to change the check date is to manually edit it. Given that, shouldn't the check date default to the current date rather than to the scheduled due date? There's some funkiness regarding using the Enter key when creating a scheduled transaction. When in the middle of entering amounts, if I press Enter, I'm kicked out of the entry dialog and nothing is saved. If I've completed my entries, nothing happens when I press Enter, I must click OK to close the dialog. When I created an SX for my two Mutual Funds, there was no way to enter the share price and number of shares, just the dollar amounts. Is there a way to get that info into the SX? Don't know if this has changed much, I haven't updated from CVS since November 23rd.

That's more or less how I do it in Quicken. I have a recurring transaction setup that I tweak when I'm actually paying the bill. If the Since Last Run dialog can handle it... prompt for actual total amount and splits... then that's what I'm after, for the most part. At least for bills that don't vary much from month to month.

In Quicken (I'm referring to how I use Quicken, and not necessarily how everyone uses Quicken), I have generic SX's created for all my recurring bills: credit cards, gas, phone, water, etc., each with estimated (read budgeted) amounts. I'll usually have Quicken open to my Calendar, with all the transactions displayed on the days that they're due. I also have a bar graph on the bottom of the page that shows a real time day-to-day status of my checking account (actually, checking + savings and I can add other accounts as well), based on already posted transactions and scheduled transactions. I can skip ahead several months and see what my cash flow situation will be, if I stay on budget (according to my SX's), or modify my budget in some way. And I can see, with a great deal of accuracy, my current cash flow situation. Some SX's I'll leave alone until they're due (like the G&E bill) and only enter the "real" numbers when creating the entry. Mostly because they don't vary enough for me to go through the effort to make an accurate SX. Others, like credit cards, vary enough month to month that I'll edit the SX when I get the bill, before I actually am ready to pay it. This involves editing the repeating SX, changing its due date to the next month and creating a new SX with the correct amount and splits for the due date. This keeps my near term graph very accurate. This is really what I'm after with my SX Template idea. Rather than having to edit an existing SX and then add a new SX, I'd like to be able to just create new SX based on an SX Template. Does that make sense? Tim ___ gnucash-devel mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.gnumatic.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/gnucash-devel
Scheduled transaction entry idea
I'd like to see a feature where I can enter a scheduled transation as an invoice, much like business accounting packages enter AP invoices. Say I receive my Gas and Electric bill on November 1st. It's due on November 20th. I want to be able to quickly enter a scheduled transaction with only the following data points: Payee: The Gas and Electric Company Due Date: November 20th Amount: Split between Electric and Gas So, I figure, your looking at the creation of a scheduled transaction template., with the ability to create templates for the various periodic, and variable, bills you receive. You then can enter an SX from that Template, something like: Tools-Scheduled Transactions-Create from Template. Perhaps a Template SX can be separated from real SX by giving it a Frequency spec of "Template". Is this feasible with the makeup of the current SX engine?

I know that Quicken has a decent mechanism for handling Mortgage type loans, fixed interest, fixed term. It can create a scheduled transaction for paying the loan. I use it all the time. It also has credit card accounts, that I don't use for credit cards, but DO use for my Equity Line of Credit. I don't have it automatically create scheduled transactions, though (although I think it can) since the payment varies so much based on min payment requirements and cash flow. But I think Scheduled Transactions could work there, too, based on current balance, minimum payment and term rules on the loan/credit card. Most equity lines have fixed rules on how interest payments are calculated, even if they have variable rates (as do credit cards, for that matter). > Thinking about this, I'm not sure whether this should be done by one > combined "magic" account or a master loan account with three > sub-accounts (principal, interest, escrow).

Probably not... that really should be handled by transactions entered into the Escrow account separately from the Mortgage payment.

Test report: Scheduled Transactions
OK. Finally got CVS with Scheduled Transactions to compile and my system doesn't barf all over it... Set up a single transaction, the wife's payday. Bi-weekly transaction. Since I hadn't entered her last pay, yet, I set the start date to be 10/19/2001, no end date, options to Create automatically and Notify me when created. I exited gnucash, then restarted. I was presented with a Transaction Reminders dialog with nothing listed. I see two problems with the dialog: 1 - If there are no transactions to remind me of, I don't need to be reminded... 2 - My Sceduled Transaction set for 10/19/2001 for my wife's pay didn't show up. I clicked I'm then presented with a dialog called Auto-Created Transaction Notifications. It displyed what looked to be part of my checking account register, with the date highlighted, but no transaction data. I'm guessing that this is where my wife's 10/19/2001 payday should appear. But it surely wasn't there. The display is quite whacked, too. I clicked Next dialog is the To-Create Transaction Preparation. Whatever that's supposed to be...I think it needs a better name, perhaps "Pending Transactions", or "Prepare Pending Transactions", or "Pending Transaction Preparation", or "Prepare Transactions for Creation". Nothing was listed. I guess that these are transactions that are ready to be entered. Ones that were not marked as Automatically generated and that require user interaction. That's good, I think. But, again, if there aren't any, don't present me with the dialog. I clicked Next I get the Created Transaction Review dialog. Nothing is listed. I assume it's the final chance to review the SX before posting. I imagine you know this, but I gotta say it, anyway, if there are none, don't present the dialog. I clicked Finally, I'm presented with an Obsolete Sceduled Transactions dialog. Hmmm. What's this? My wife's payday is listed. But, my only option appears to be to select it and delete it. I don't wanna do that. I wanna have it entered. I leave it unselected and click . Nothing happens. Click again, nothing happens. Click , nothing happens. Click , the dialog closes. Thus ends my first foray into the wonderful world of Scheduled Transactions development... The obvious problems I see are that I'm presented with too many blank dialogs calling me to take no action. The other is that it appears the SX logic thinks that the transaction I created that is supposed to have no end date, has expired and needs to be deleted. I like the idea of an SX that expires, though. But it needs to be tidied up a bit. Other thoughts, is there a way to configure a fixed loan, such as a mortgage or auto loan, so that scheduled transactions are created for the loan? This would be especially neat for those folks who have automated withdrawals done for mortgaes. That's all for now, I look forward to further testing...

Configure it so that if a user has chosen to have move from field to field, - performs the function for the transaction (except for the last entry field, where will actually do the ) I've gotten so used to hitting to go to the next field (esp for split trasactions), that hitting feels very unnatural.

Apologies if this has been broguht up before... Any thoughts in providing a user-configurable option that would cause to act as when entering a transaction? I'v gotten used to using to tab from field to field in Quicken. It's setup so that acts as only at the last field in the transaction dialog.

Re: Segfault with CVS (SOLVED)
Linking /usr/lib/libxml.so.2 to /opt/gnome/lib/libxml2.so.2.4.5 and re-compiling seems to have solved the problem. I ran gnucash a little last night, opened a file, looked at the scheduled transaction dialog then closed it, without saving the file. It gave me a segfault when closing, but I haven't looked into whether that's a real problwm or not.

Segfault with CVS
Hi folks, After much trial and tribulation, and some fantastic help on #[EMAIL PROTECTED], I managed to get gnucash from cvs compiled. The problem I'm now having is that gnucash generates a segfault when I try to create an account. The backtrace from gdb seems to indicate a problem with libxml. #0 0x40a39150 in xmlFreeNodeList () from /usr/lib/libxml.so.2 #1 0x40a391cc in xmlFreeNode () from /usr/lib/libxml.so.2 ldd /usr/local/bin/gnucash |grep xml gave: libxml.so.2 => /usr/lib/libxml.so.2 libxml.so.1 => /opt/gnome/lib/libxml.so.1 Now, when I originally compiled gnucash-cvs, I had libxml-1.8.10 which was located in /opt/gnome/lib and libxml-2.2.10 located in /usr/lib. On the off chance that conflicting versions of libxml was the culprit, I uninstalled libxml-2.2.10. Unfortunately, that caused a problem with libguile which caused a problem with guppi which made it impossible for me to complete a ./configure. So, I re-installed 2.2.10. Next I tried using JUST the 2.2.10 version of libxml when compiling by linking /opt/gnome/lib/libxml.so and /opt/gnome/lib/libxml.so.1 to /usr/lib/libxml.so.2.2.10 and tried a configure/make/make install, which compiled. But, I still got the same segfault when creating a new account. I've since returned my system back to where it was and I currently have /opt/gnome/lib/libxml.so and /opt/gnome/lib/libxml.so.1 linking to /opt/gnome/lib/libxml.so.1.8.10 FWIW, I also have libxml2 installed in /opt/gnome/lib. Should I install another version of libxml? jsled advised me that he has 1.8.13, IIRC, and the cvs version obviously works for him. But the problem, from the perspective of my untrained eye seems to be with libxml.so.2, which, I guess, is different from libxml2.so (or libxml2.so.2) which are linked to libxml2.so.2.4.5. Any ideas?

Compile success!
I seem to have successfully compiled gnucash from CVS today. The only problems I'm having now are that gnucash segfaults when trying to create an account and it can't seem to open my existing gnucash 1.6.3 file. I'll tackle that later. I retrieved current CVS this morning. Re-ran autogen.sh and make got some errors related to rpath export'd PWD and re-ran make and got some lib errors (note to rlb: looks like all we needed to do was export PWD the other night) re-ran ./configure --with-gnome=/opt/gnome (can this be specified when executing autogen.sh?) re-ran make ran make install Done! I guess the segfault could be related to settings in my ~/.gnucash directory. I'll probly try renaming that before I run gnucash again. Thanks to all who helped me on irc last night.

I guess I gotta figure out how to make autogen.sh happy, first.. Does this have anything to do with "Gnucash CVS is about to require intltool and g-wrap 1.1.12."? I have g-wrap 1.3.1, don't have anything called intltool. Guess I'll start by downoading and installing that.

I learned alot. There was a post about new libs being required on CVS now, libtool and g-wrap, IIRC. I believe my g-wrap is current. But, if not, I think I can handle updating it/them. We'll see... It'll also give me a chance to learn CVS, too. I've played around with cvsup in trying to download and compile KDE from CVS, but never got too far with that. Will cvsup work with gnc's cvs tree? Any pointers in using it before I jump in? Of course, I think my copy of cvsup was installed on my old system, so I don't even know if I HAVE it anymore -- I've since migrated to Caldera OL 3.1 (from 2.4) and don't think I moved cvsup as part of the migration. Shouldn't bee too hard to get back, if it's not already installed by Caldera, but I digress.

Sceduled Xactions
I'm very interested in the implementation of scheduled transactions within Gnucash. It is the one feature that's preventing me from leaving Quicken/Windows altogether. I'd like to help in the developement, but am not a developer (by any stretch). So, the only way I can see myself helping is by testing. But I can't test if things aren't far enough along to make testing useful. With that in mind, then, what is the current state of development of scheduled transactions? Is it far enough along for testing by mere mortals? Would such help be useful? I have a current version of gnucash installed (1.6.3), so I believe I have what's needed to compile from cvs sources.

Can't compile gnucash 1.6.3, Unknown library 'libguppi', but...
Hi, COL Workstaion 3.1, X4.1.0, KDE2.2.1, Gnome 1.4.?? In a continuing effort to compile and install gnucash 1.6.3, I've hit several roadblocks. Most I've overcome. I'm now stuck with the problem that the configure script for gnucash can't seem to locate libguppi. I've compiled and installed the latest Guppi from source, 0.35.5. It was installed into /usr/local/include/libguppi. (I also seem to have a version of libguppi in /usr/include/libguppi -- and that could be part of my problem, I guess) When I execute ./configure --prefix=/opt/gnucash --with-libguppi-prefix=/usr/local/include/libguppi I get error messages "Unknown library 'libguppi'" Some of my config.log follows: configure:7329: gcc -o conftest -g -O2 -Wall -Wunused -Wall -Wno-unused -Werror-implicit-function-declaration -I/usr/X11R6/include -I/usr/lib/glib/include conftest.c -lm -lm -rdynamic -L/usr/X11R6/lib -L/usr/lib -lgtk -lgdk -lgmodule -lglib -ldl -lXext -lX11 -lm 1>&5 In file included from configure:7322: /usr/local/include/libguppi/guppi-useful.h:30: guppi-convenient.h: No such file or directory /usr/local/include/libguppi/guppi-useful.h:31: guppi-debug.h: No such file or directory /usr/local/include/libguppi/guppi-useful.h:32: guppi-dialogs.h: No such file or directory /usr/local/include/libguppi/guppi-useful.h:33: guppi-defaults.h: No such file or directory configure: failed program was: This seems to be saying to me, among other things, that there's a reference to "guppi-convenient.h" in line 30 of the file "/usr/local/include/libguppi/guppi-useful.h" and the configure script can't find it. But, it found "/usr/local/include/libguppi/guppi-useful.h" and "guppi-convenient.h" is in the same directory. What gives? What step am I missing? What am I doing wrong?

I downloaded libxml2 tarball last night, but haven't compiled/installed it yet. That should include any devel libraries (shouldn't it?).
