Gnucash for Vector Linux 4.0 16th January 2004 Gnucash 1.8.8 is compiled with libOFX & OpenSP support. There are the following dependencies... From Existing Vector Linux 4.0... db1-1.85-i386-1 gdkpixbuf-0.17.0-i386-1 imlib-1.9.14-i386-1 From Slackware 8.1... bonobo-1.0.2.0-i386-1 gal-0.19.2-i386-1 gnome-libs-1.4.1.7-i386-1 gnome-print-0.36-i386-1 gtkhtml-1.0.2-i386-1 guppi-0.40.3-i386-1 libghttp-1.0.9-i386-1 libglade-0.17-i386-1testing/printer/ libxml-1.8.17-i386-1 oaf-0.6.10-i386-1 orbit-0.5.17-i386-1 Newly made Vector Linux 4.0 packages... g-wrap-1.3.4-i586-1 guile-1.6.4-i586-1 slib-2d6-noarch-1 /usr/lib/libgtkhtml.la must be modified from standard... In the "dependency_libs" field in libgtkhtml.la, "/usr/X11R6/lib/libfreetype.la" must be changed to "/usr/lib/libfreetype.la" All the slackware 8.1 dependencies inluding the modified libgtkhtml.la are in the gnucash-slackdeps-1.8.8-i386-1.tgz package. In addition the new packages & gnucash-1.8.8-i586-1 must of course be installed. Before running as a user gnucash must be run as root. (An attempt should do even if you run in a console with no x & it fails this should be sufficient). Many thanks to TonyH9904 of Vector Linux forums who spent many hours / days on this & made a major dependency breakthrough. Also thanks to R J Marquette & Jason Childs (see http://rjmarq.org/gnucash.html ) & vector of Vector Linux who provided the link. Also thanks to other in Vector Linux Community for their encouragement. Any complaints contact ren on Vector Linux forums.
