David, Conrad Thanks for the advice. I removed g-wrap 1.3.2 from /usr/lib and installed it in /opt instead. Today's CVS compiled without a hitch!
I left the earlier g-wrap in /usr/lib, because I am in fact using gnucash 1.6. Both 1.6 and 1.8 are humming along nicely, thanks to the good advice of the people on this list. Now back to bug-hunting! Thanks gain, John On Thu, 2002-09-26 at 17:08, David Hampton wrote: > On Thu, 2002-09-26 at 13:40, John P.
