Dear GnuCash developers,
I am new to GnuCash and to this mailing list, so please excuse me if my
questions sound a bit stupid. And please excuse my english, it was MUCH
better 20 years ago...
First, I would like to say that I am actually a Quicken (Version 6) user and
that I would like to abando

Let's say you write a check for "food", and pay it from the "checking"
account. In the

First, I want to thank everyone who responded with suggestions about my
problems getting GnuCash running under Mandrake 7.0 (586).
Secondly, I was briefly worried about "accuracy" issues when I saw the
discussion about fractional cents with respect to stock purchases, but

As of version 1.4.0, gnucash uses double-precision IEEE floats to
represent all monetary quantities. We see several related reasons
that doubles are inadequate for representation of monetary quantities:
- Range. IEEE 64-bit doubles have 52 bits of mantissa, meaning a

You need to make sure that (1) you have 'g-wrap' installed (the
package should be available somewhere under
ftp://ftp.gnucash.org/pub/g-wrap/) (2) you have the
Thanks Bill.
Yes, the latest version of g-wrap was built and installed on my
system. I even tried to run the command from the command line.
Same error. I even --version so the version I installed is correct.
I don't know what else could be the problem.

Thanks Dave. ./configure worked smoothly.
I knew it was somthing basic.
I should've known I need the devel versions of the required libraries to
compile. :-)
Now I'm working on the same issues in the Hello thread of the list.

I seem to be having the same problem:

Both G-wrap and Guile are installed. They are in my path.

It was possible in MS Money 2.0, I don't know if it's available in any
recent financial software. I think that some adding machines (pre-PC era) used
to have a mode of operation like that; my grandfather was a CPA and I recall he
used to do something similar for long columns of figures. I'
