| Post subject: | gnuCash |
Hello, I am trying (unsuccessfully so far) to install the latest, unstable release of gnuCash. From a terminal window I entered the following command lines: cd ~/src/ sudo aptitude update sudo apt-get install build-essential fakeroot sudo apt-get build-dep gnucash gnucash-common The last line results in an error stating that the source code for gnuCash can not be found. However, I do have the stable release of gnuCash installed. Before I attempt to build from source do you have any possible remedies to try first? Thanks, Ted Springvale, Maine |

I'm a bit confused...nothing new, but if you want the unstable version (2.5.9) you have to install from the source code. |

Ok, I thought I would build it to see what the problem was. This is what I think is going on. You don't have the source code for GnuCash. cd ~/src/ <----change to /home/your_user_id/src sudo aptitude update <----like sudo apt-get update; to update repository list sudo apt-get install build-essential fakeroot <--- tools to build already installed, but can't hurt sudo apt-get build-dep gnucash gnucash-common <-- reads dependency list in gnucash source code to install requisit dependencies....but ya' got no code in ~/src for it to read. Download the source code; unpack it <wherever, possible ~/src>; run the last command again. 120 MB of additional development packages necessary to compile the sources code are downloaded and installed. In the directory of freshly unpacked source code run; ./configure. If it's error free; sudo make and sudo make install Good luck. |
