Thanks, I really do appreciate every bit of advice! Thanks again for everybody trying to help here. However, I still have no way of emerging gnucash. The way is still hidden from me. I have tried everything I can think of and every suggestion that I have found. I'm sure it will happen sooner or later. I would just hope it would be easy as portage should be.
