I'm running Debian woody, have no problem starting the program. I used the command menu (Utilities | Debian | Gnucash) under KDE. I know this doesn't solve your problem, but at least it's information :) Debian packages are pretty much supposed to work, so you might considering filing a debian bug report, using reportbug or some similar tool. Here's the dependency information it gives me for my system: Package: gnucash Version: 1.6.6-1 -- System Information Debian Release: 3.0 Architecture: i386 Kernel: Linux wheat 2.4.18 #1 Sat May 4 10:07:13 PDT 2002 i686 Locale: LANG=C, LC_CTYPE=C Versions of packages gnucash depends on: ii bonobo 1.0.20-1 The GNOME Bonobo System. ii gdk-imlib1 1.9.14-2 Gdk-Imlib is an imaging library fo ii guile1.4 1:1.4-24 The GNU extension language and Sch ii guile1.4-slib 1:1.4-24 SLIB support for guile1.4 and libg ii libart2 1.4.1.4-3 The Gnome canvas widget - runtime ii libaudiofile0 0.2.3-4 The Audiofile Library ii libbonobo2 1.0.20-1 The GNOME Bonobo library. ii libc6 2.2.5-4 GNU C Library: Shared libraries an ii libdate-manip-perl 5.40-1 a perl library for manipulating da ii libdb3 3.2.9-16 Berkeley v3 Database Libraries [ru ii libesd0 0.2.23-3 Enlightened Sound Daemon - Shared ii libfinance-quote-perl 1.06-2 Perl module for retrieving stock q ii libfreetype6 2.0.9-1 FreeType 2 font engine, shared lib ii libgal19 0.19-1 G App Libs (run time library) ii libgdk-pixbuf-gnome2 0.16.0-1 The GNOME Canvas pixbuf library ii libgdk-pixbuf2 0.16.0-1 The GdkPixBuf library. ii libghttp1 1.0.9-9 Gnome HTTP client library ii libglade-gnome0 1:0.17-2.2 Library to load .glade files at ru ii libglade0 1:0.17-2.2 Library to load .glade files at ru ii libglib1.2 1.2.10-4 The GLib library of C routines ii libgnome32 1.4.1.4-3 The Gnome libraries ii libgnomeprint15 0.35-4 The GNOME Print architecture - run ii libgnomesupport0 1.4.1.4-3 The Gnome libraries (Support libra ii libgnomeui32 1.4.1.4-3 The Gnome libraries (User Interfac ii libgtk1.2 1.2.10-11 The GIMP Toolkit set of widgets fo ii libgtkhtml20 1.0.2-1 HTML rendering/editing library - r ii libguile9 1:1.4-24 libraries for Guile1.4 (guile, gui ii libguppi16 0.40.3-1 GNOME graph and plot component ii libgwrapguile1 1.1.11-5 g-warp: Tool for exporting C libra ii libltdl3 1.4.2-4 A system independent dlopen wrappe ii liboaf0 0.6.10-2 The GNOME Object Activation Framew ii liborbit0 0.5.15-2 Libraries for ORBit - a CORBA ORB ii libpopt0 1.6.2-7 lib for parsing cmdline parameters ii libwrap0 7.6-9 Wietse Venema's TCP wrappers libra ii libwww-perl 5.64-1 WWW client/server library for Perl ii libxml1 1:1.8.17-2 GNOME XML library ii libzvt2 1.4.1.4-3 The Gnome zvt (zterm) widget ii oaf 0.6.10-2 The GNOME Object Activation Framew ii perl 5.6.1-7 Larry Wall's Practical Extraction ii slib 2d2-1 Portable Scheme library. ii xlibs 4.1.0-16 X Window System client libraries ii zlib1g 1:1.1.4-1 compression library - runtime Wow! That's a lot of dependencies! By the way, thanks to the developers. It looks very nice. By the way, I notice the stand-alone html help is available only in French. Is there any particular reason for that? _______________________________________________ gnucash-devel mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.gnucash.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/gnucash-devel
