Hi, Thanks for the suggestions and some more definitions about QIF and CSV importers. Bottom line for me on my LM 19.2, other than the QIF importer none of the other techniques work on my Win or Linux machines. On my linux box, the program itself did not work although I did get a clean cmake install this last time.
As this is tax season, I don't have a lot of time to program this stuff - I need to work on my books. My history with Gnucash started long ago in the early 2.* series. I suppose I was on LM13 or less at that time. Gnucash worked in Linux just fine and was a great help. At that time even the auto downloads aqbank was working for me. As time went by and especially after we jumped to the 3.* series, the importing, automation, aqbank, etc stopped working. I was still able to create a working program via the tar ball method until we got to the mandatory cmake procedure. At that time I was not able to make an install from any kind of cmake instructions. As I had hopes to restore some of the functions I had lost, I updated gnucash. For a time I was able to get 3.2 from flatpac to work and lately a 3.5 deb package from Stephen Butler to work. As mentioned I was able to get a cmake install for 3.7 using a different procedure to install to $HOME/.local. Previously all attempts to install to any /usr or /opt directory failed. Today I tested old and new .gncash files and all of them failed would not work in the 3.7 (did the autoclose bit). I did the "make uninstall" the 3.7 - it came out clean. I checked the synaptic - clean. Did the terminal autoclean/autoremove bit - clean. Checked dependencies again - attempted to reinstall the 3.5 deb package. Now this 3.5 deb package did install cleanly, but again the files are untouchable - the magic program autoclose. Is this a new feature? I unloaded the 3.5, clean it up and then went to the Synaptic and loaded the old 2.16.19 - the last gnucash Ubuntu/LM put in their repositories. This apparently is working. What the heck! So this is apparently pointing to issues with the newer Ubuntu/LM programming/kernels or something. No clues beyond this - have to get something to work on my books either on the Win machine or old linux installs.
