I got GnuCash 4.something from Flatpak and it worked pretty well on my RHEL8.2 Linux system except it would not print.

I do not know what PPA protocols even are, but when I first upgraded from an old 2.something Gnucash to 4.2 I got it from Flatpack. It installed easily, I converted the simple database I had and was lucky. But it would not print anything. I suspect that this problem is that Flatpack give all its files bizarre names and stores them in unexpected places. Now the trouble with this for me is my Linux system uses an SELinux kernel that is extremely security conscious, and Flatpack does not follow the rules. Even the root user cannot easily violate the rules. I did not follow this up, but Flatpack is so bizarre in where it puts things, what it names them, that if it does not work exactly as you want, you will probably never get it to work. (It was even worse with the BOINC system that I run 24/7.) A knowledgeable friend hand built an rpm for me from source, and gave me a list of necessary other items.

Re: [GNC] Printing
On 12/30/20 4:15 PM, David Cousens wrote: Jean-David I reached the same conclusion about flatpack programs and prefer to build GnuCash and other software from scratch. This may be a better solution for you. The wiki pages have faily detailed instructions on Building GnuCash on Linux. [1]https://wiki.gnucash.org/wiki/Building_On_Linux. I don't know if anyone else has built it on RHEL8 and the SELinux kernel. I think Geert runs Fedora. The above instructions are Linux Mint/Ubuntu oriented. The main problem is usually getting all the dependency headers and libraries loaded. The build cmake script checks for the dependencies and versions of them it needs and issues error messages then stops when they are not found. The procedure is then to load the dependencies in the breakout page on them then run the script, fix any dependency problem indicated and rerun the cmake script until it runs without any error messages. There are fairly detailed instructions for loading the dependencies but they are based on the libraries which are normally included by default in the Debian/Ubuntu/Linux Mint distributions. I don't know enough about RHEL8 to know what possible problems to expect. If you do decide to give it a try, we usually try to add a breakout to the wiki detailing any differences to the existing instructions that are distribution specific so feel free to add to the wiki if you run into differences for RHEL8. Also come back to the forum if you run into difficulties and we can try and sort them out.

I am not an expert at the inner workings of GnuCash, but it seems to me that there is nothing the author of Gnucash, or any other program, can do to make files write-only-once. Not because the code of Gnucash could not be written that way, but because there is little GnuCash can do to prevent other programs from modifying GnuCash files. In other words, if a user has permission to write a file, (s)he also has permission to update (re-write) a file.

If you are > buying or selling more or less, your exact price will be different, > but you can use the spot as a guide. Here in USA, a standard contract for gold is 100 troy ounces and for silver, it is 5000 troy ounces. The spot price may be useful if you are trading gold or silver contracts, but if you buy a contract because you want to take delivery of the gold, you are in for a rude shock. For example, there are an estimated 300 contracts out there for each 100 ounces of gold, so if all holders wanted to take delivery, 299 would have to do without. If you actually want to take delivery, you may have to pay a big premium. These days, some items are either not available at all (Canadian one-ounce silver Maple Leafs), or command a large premium ($177 premium over spot) to get a one-ounce US Gold Eagle.

We did not want to issue stock, but there were other problems: 1.) Banks would not allow us to have a checking account until at least one of us was over 18. 2.)

To set up a legal corporation, and issue stock (not listed on a stock exchange), we needed a board of directors all of whom were adults (i.e., over 21 years of age).

I mainly chose RHEL for my desktop when it was running servers as well as the usual desktop applications. I had been running the regular Red Hat Unix versions up to 7.3. I tried Red Hat 9 and it did not run IBM DB2 very well, that I needed for database work. I started tunning RHEL3 on one machine and upgraded another machine to CentOS 4. One reason I keep running RHEL is just because I cannot stand having to update Fedora systems so often. The minor updates are usually OK, but when a new release comes out, it takes way too much time to install and configure it. It inly takes a couple of hours to install the software, but it usually takes me about a month to get it all configured correctly. And when the releases are now SELinux, getting that right ... . Well if you have done it, you know what I mean. And if you have not, good luck to you. > > Besides, who keeps (desktop) computers for 10 years? I refresh my > laptop every 3. > I keep them that long. I kept my first machine 14 years, but after four years, I added a second computer and networked them together, and after another four years, I built yet another and kept it until the power supply exploded (at about years old). Until that happened, it was working just fine but by then the power supply was so obsolete that I could not find any with the right power and the right connections. I donated the oldest one to someone who used it for some parts (very good dial-up modem when I no longer needed modems). The next one I junked (dual 550 MHz Pentium III processors, 512 Megabytes RAM). I thought about upping the RAM, but decided against that because those processors were just too slow.I only kept it around because I had a Windows XP license for it to do my taxes on it. My current machine is 64-bits, has a 4-core Xeon processor, 8 GBytes RAM. The mother board will take two Xeon processors, 512 GBytes RAM. At one time, I might have needed that, but right now I sure do not. -- .~.

Were I running RHEL7, it would get things from that. But in either case, Red Hat do not support Gnucash (and do not support VLC), so I would need to download the rpms from elsewhere. And it is not that easy because the rpm's will not install unless all the dependencies are already there. And to get them is almost impossible for most things. When I downloaded VLC, for example, I needed a few libraries. I found and downloaded some of those. They wanted more. Some of them needed other libraries and they did not exist. So I had to get rid of some and get other versions of those, and so on. It took over a week to get VLC to work. And I was trying to install VLC because some other video player (and mp3 player) stopped working. The only way I got GnuCash to work is that it is not quite as complicated as VLC, and the EPEL project has Gnucash in it. They do not upgrade it though. They have a version that works, and that is that. The EPEL for Gnucash in RHEL7 will not install in RHEL6, and I am not prepared to upgrade my RHEL6 system just to get the latest Gnucash. (Even were I to do that, there is no reason to believe that that version of Gnucash would be the latest, though I suspect it would be more up to date than what I now have.) -- .~.

I cannot just upgrade a single package. To do that, I would have to go through hell to get all the required libraries. I have done that in the past: NEVER AGAIN! It took me several weeks to make some package work that way. I think it was VLC. For that, I had to install 26 other packages, and finding just the exact version of each took over a week. I would have to upgrade my system from RHEL6 to RHEL7, and doing that takes about a month of aggravation to get everything configured correctly again. That is why I skip every other upgrade. Red Hat support their releases for 10 years. Also, I do not want to bother compiling from source. -- .~.

I have an additional solution, practical since I am the administrator of this computer. I have my own private accounts, and if I am logged into my machine as me, if I run GnuCash, I get those.

What should > provide that file? > Do you have them and the build procedure cannot find them? Or are they not there at all? I have never built gnucash, though I run it all the time. On my Red Hat Enterprise Linux system, running with a 4-core 64-bit Xeon processor, they are here: /usr/lib64/gnucash/libgnc-gnome.so /usr/lib64/gnucash/libgnc-gnome.so.0 /usr/lib64/gnucash/libgnc-gnome.so.0.0.0 On a 32-bit machine, they would be in /usr/lib instead of /usr/lib64. Thus (Trillian was my old 32-bit machine): /D2P1/Trillian/usr/lib/gnucash/libgnc-gnome.so /D2P1/Trillian/usr/lib/gnucash/libgnc-gnome.so.0 /D2P1/Trillian/usr/lib/gnucash/libgnc-gnome.so.0.0.0 Since Red Hat do not support GnuCash, I must have gotten that library somewhere else. I see it came with $ rpm -qf /usr/lib64/gnucash/libgnc-gnome.so gnucash-2.4.15-4.el6.x86_64 -- .~.

I am treasurer or a Quaker Meeting in New Jersey, USA. We are considered a non-profit organization by both the Internal Revenue Service and the State of New Jersey. We are also considered to be a religious organization. We have no employees. A consequence is that we need file no income tax returns. We do keep books of income and expense because I must write acknowledgement letters to donors so they can claim income tax deductions. We also need to keep good records because some organizations contribute money to us and they need to know aspects of our finances. I do use GnuCash for this. Long ago, I used Quicken and TurboTax for my accounts, but TurboTax did not communicate well with Quicken one year, and I got rid of Windows for almost all my computing work, so I switched to GnuCash for my personal accounting. When I was made treasurer, I naturally used it for that too. (Separate files; in fact a separate user account on my machine.) -- .~.

I do not know how you could expect to run a program without installing it first. And once it is installed all you have to do is run it. You do not login to it. What operating system are you running on your machine? I know only Linux, though I know a version is available for Window (if I am not mistaken), but even there you need to install it and run it.

Normally, you log into your computer and run GnuCash program. You do not log into a program, you just run it. In GnuCash you can select which file to use, but it normally comes up with the last one you used, and most home users have only one unless they run a second one for a business, for example. -- .~.
