Hi Charles, Are you by any chance on MacOS and using ledger from homebrew?
Someone mentioned a problem on IRC a few weeks ago that sounds similar to yours. Here are parts of the conversion: 20:41 < schmooser> one half of times I got 4 rows and another half of times I got 5 rows 20:45 <@tbm> schmooser: I always get the same result. What output do you get? 20:47 < schmooser> tbm: here is the screenshot http://img.ly/yTlu 20:47 < schmooser> tbm: ledger 3.0.2, compiled by homebrew on mavericks 20:53 < schmooser> tbm: huh, I have another copy of ledger, which I compiled from sources, not homebrew. It works normally. 20:54 <@tbm> schmooser: maybe homebrew uses clang to compile; someone reported issued with ledger comipled with clang on the list a few days ago * Charles Merriam <[email protected]> [2014-06-23 17:34]: > Hi Craig, > > Thank you.
