Do you have gnucash-backend-postgres installed? I believe yes. Since I wanted to use gnuCash with postgresql, I rpmed the source package. Next I configured/compiled gnuCash source with --enable-sql. So I have a working copy gnuCash with postgresql support. Are you sure your rebuild went correctly, and it included the postgres backend plugin? I am sure it worked. I went into psql and queried the data from gnuCash. Let me back peddle here for a moment. The default rpm that Red Hat shipped with 8.0 does not have the postgres backend. What I am asking for is that Red Hat would ship gnuCash with %configure --enable-sql. Otherwise I have to compile it that way. The error message above is from the stock rpm not my compiled version. I am providing customer feedback as to how I would like to be able to use gnuCash on RH. If you don't use the postgres:// URL, then gnuCash uses the normal XML backend and the postgres backend is inert. I am not an RPM expert, but it looks like the .spec file has the --enable-sql compile instruction, but the binary shipped does not have the support. This is what I tried to point out in the Additional Information section of the original bug report. I also tried to show that I followed all the correct steps in setting up postgresSQL, etc. Does this information clear up what I was driving at? Yes, that clears it up. The postgres backend is shipped in the gnucash that comes with Red Hat Linux 9 and later. :) Well I guess it is finally time to install version 9. Thanks for already making this feature available. |
