Re: [GNC] GnuCash 4.1 on Ubuntu 20.04 LTS
In that case, John's suggestion to re-build might be your best bet. Another option to stay current ahead of the default distro version is to use the Flatpak, but that has its caveats too.

Re: [GNC] GnuCash 4.1 on Ubuntu 20.04 LTS
Derek, I have built GnuCash 4.2 on Linux Mint which is Ubuntu 20.04 based. I had a few minor issues sorting out the dependencies (https://wiki.gnucash.org/wiki/Dependencies) which I think I resolved by loading specific versions from the Ubuntu launchpad site or built from source if I couldn't find. If I remember gettext-0.20.2 and libboost were the problems. Not havong 0.20.2 throws up a warning but it doesn't stop the build and Gnucash runs fine without it as far as i have explored. I currently have libboost-1.71.0 and gettext-0.19.8.1 loaded and working. I think all I had to do was build with the development headers for the library version loaded. When building you need to have the header files loaded and the runtime files when you run GnuCash. Unfortunately iIwas sorting out a couple of other problems with LM20 at the time and didn't fully record what I had to do to get GnuCash up and running. david - David Cousens -- Sent from: http://gnucash.1415818.n4.nabble.com/GnuCash-User-f1415819.html ___ gnucash-user mailing list gnucash-user@gnucash.org To update your subscription preferences or to unsubscribe: https://lists.gnucash.org/mailman/listinfo/gnucash-user If you are using Nabble or Gmane, please see https://wiki.gnucash.org/wiki/Mailing_Lists for more information. - Please remember to CC this list on all your replies.

Re: [GNC] GnuCash 4.1 on Ubuntu 20.04 LTS
When building, you install the dependencies yourself. the Boost libraries don't want to install at version 1.65 on 20.04. Apt complains it can't do it. But yes, on a regular install, that should the trick. Regards, Adrien On 11/28/20 1:29 PM, Ove Grunnér wrote: I would try to uninstall and reinstall gnucash.

Re: [GNC] GnuCash 4.1 on Ubuntu 20.04 LTS
Derek I am running GnuCash 4.2 on Linux Mint 20 which is based on Ubuntu 20.04 using libboost1.71. I am not sure what version is installed from the repository but I think it was an early version 4. You could try an uninstall and reinstall from the repository if you are using the repository version. It will hopefully pull a build on Ubuntu 20.04 rather than a build on 18.04. I normally build from scratch and don't install from the repository so I have no experience with the version in the repository but it will usually access a build for the specific version of Ubuntu that is detected.
