Upon further review: After exploring the forum in more depth, extending back about 2 years, I found a number of the established developers of gnucash voicing their doubts as to the viability of pushing gnucash passed what is in the ubuntu repository. In my case since I have had a muitple failures

Made another decision to this purge and retry to install idea - after three of these efforts previously, I'm moving on to a different plan. i'm going to download a LM19.2 iso and flash the SSD to zero and attempt to build this tarball with a fresh LM19.2 install. If that fails, there must be majo

Thanks David For the look see on this. I will give it another go tomorrow after I do another clean out uninstall/purge. As to the make and make install feedback, as I mentioned I had no errors nor any warnings what-so-ever in the compile process. I had the full libsecret files with its GoObject

Tax season is over , now back to the original problem of having on 3.7 version on my LM 19.2 box and by necessity, a Windows 10 box. I reviewed all of David Cousens notes and suggestions. I spent any series of hours spanning days, rooting out all known locations where gnucash may have been instal

Hi Stephen, Thanks for jumping here. Yes to confirm I attempted your 3.7 build on the 18.04/LM19.2 and failed in dependencies that I could never overcome. So even after loading the common.deb and then the python.deb, that main program failed and was basically broken in the machine. I did enjoy

Thanks David for that update, I'm saving that information for the time to attempt to build this again. Tricky is an understatement for cmake - totally unforgiving - if it's not precisely tuned, it will spray files all over the place. I have no idea how to proof the key cmaketxt files for the com

Thanks David for the reply I have a few moments before I'm back at the grind. As to the history of gnucash installs, I guess i date myself back to the 2014-2015 coming off the Moneydance era (once removed from Quicken/Quickbooks). At the time all tarballs were done with Autotools and installs a

Sorry John, tried to reply; but lost in the maze of nabble vs user and got rejected. As mentioned earlier, I've got tax season and really don't have time this week to debug troubleshoot - maybe next month. My comments are only to be viewed at the 20,000 foot level anyway - my overall impressio

As for further punishment, I unloaded via synaptic the old 2.16.19 version and gave it a go with Ronal's idea of using the sickylife.ppa load out. After cleaning, I loaded the ppa and installed - no problems - no errors. 3.7 still force closes on touching the files. Unload it, remove PPA, attemp

Hi, Thanks for the suggestions and some more definitions about QIF and CSV importers. Bottom line for me on my LM 19.2, other than the QIF importer none of the other techniques work on my Win or Linux machines. On my linux box, the program itself did not work although I did get a clean cmake inst

After a huge effort to install Gnucash 3.7 on a Win 10 machine and then on a production build (no errors- all dependencies met) of Gnucash 3.7 from tarball on a Linux box, I failed to get a working program. I was able to load GnuCash3.7 in the Win 10 box with Qif files that numbered over a thousan
