Are you running 10.2 or 10.3? With 10.3 that command should finish and actually install gnucash successfully. If it errors out, what's the error? Here is what I get on 10.3 / unstable: (...) checking for libglade... no checking for main in -lgal... no configure: error: gal library not found. See the README and config.log for more info. ### execution of /var/tmp/tmp.1.P0o576 failed, exit code 1 Failed: compiling gnucash-1.8.9-14 failed Olivier-Kaloudoffs-Computer:~ ikal$ dpkg -l | grep gal ii gal21 0.22-14 GNOME application library ii gal21-shlibs 0.22-14 GNOME application library Olivier-Kaloudoffs-Computer:~ ikal$ dpkg -L gal21 Olivier-Kaloudoffs-Computer:~ ikal$ tail /sw/src/gnucash-1.8.9-14/gnucash-1.8.9/config.log configure:13772: checking for main in -lgal configure:13787: gcc -o conftest -g -O2 -Wall -Wunused -no-cpp-precomp -I/sw/include/postgresql -I/sw/include conftest.c -lgal -L/sw/lib -L/usr/X11R6/lib -lgal -lgnomeprint -lfreetype -lglade-gnome -lglade -lxml -lz -lgnomeui -lart_lgpl -lgdk_imlib -lSM -lICE -lgnome -lgnomesupport -lesd -laudiofile -lgdk_pixbuf -lgtk -lgdk -lgmodule -lglib -lintl -lXext -lX11 -lm -lgnomecanvaspixbuf -liconv -lpopt -lm -lintl -lm 1>&5 ld: can't locate file for: -lglade-gnome configure: failed program was: #line 13780 "configure" #include "confdefs.h" int main() { main() ; return 0; } Sincerelly, Olivier Kaloudoff ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email sponsored by Black Hat Briefings & Training.
