I have recently found that although I was able to INSTALL GnuCash 2.2.2 by adding a couple of packages to the "minimal Gnome" I detailed on here a while back, vis:
http://wiki.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/wiki/GNOMEDevPlatform (The extra packages that allowed me to INSTALL (but not use) 2.2.2 were: Goffice libgsf PCRE ) however, the application bombs out when one tries to do anything with the Scheduled Transaction editor . Running a "follow the children" strace suggests that you need the following Perl stuff as well: write(2, "\n", 1) = 1 write(2, "You need to install the followin"..., 48) = 48 write(2, " Finance::Quote\n", 17) = 17 write(2, " LWP\n", 6) = 6 write(2, " HTML::Parser\n", 15) = 15 write(2, " HTML::TableExtract\n", 21) = 21 write(2, " Crypt::SSLeay\n", 16) = 16 write(2, " Date::Manip\n", 14) = 14 write(2, "\n", 1) = 1 write(2, "Use your system\'s package manage"..., 51) = 51 write(2, "or run \'gnc-fq-update\' as root.\n", 32) = 32 write(1, "missing-lib\n", 12) = 12 and indeed the script mentioned there tries to do a Perl CPAN install of those modules. I can't recall (nor work out as yet) if the package requirement chain that one would follow for GnuCash 2 would highight this so it might be worth flagging it up explicitly. FWIW, I had installed GnCash 2.0.1 using just the basic GnomeDEV environment above.
