Description of Problem: Tried to rpm GNUCash onto my 7.2 Linux and it errors out missing a lot of library files Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How Reproducible: Should reproduce on all 7.2 RH machines Steps to Reproduce: 1. mount rh cdrom 2 2.As root cd /mnt/cdrom/Redhat/RPPM 3. rpm -i gnucash* Actual Results: Eroors out Expected Results: GNUCash on my Linux Additional Information:
Created attachment 40111 [details] This is what happens when you try to load GNUCash
You need to install the RPMs it depends on. In this case, it's Guppi and g-wrap.
Got Guppi and G-wrap from the GNUCash website. They are i386 rpm files but Guppi has 2 more dependant lib files I can't find. One is a gnome library. Should I have got G-wrap and Guppi from another site? The main point to all this is that Red Hat provides a system that includes the very fine Double Entry Data Base GNUCash on the CDROM and it cannot be loaded! This will go over big with small business!
OK Let's close this since the problem is not a Red Hat Inc. problem. I got the older (last year) rpm of version 1.49 of GNUCash and it loaded on 7.2 no problem. The GNUCash version 1.6x is what doesn't load on 7.2 and it also errors out on 7.1 too. At the www.gnucash.org webpage they write that no-one seems able to load GNUCash ver 1.6x. It would be a feather in your Red Hat to get 1.6x running and make it a Standard load with your versions.
Um, we do. We put it on the CD. We provide all the packages it requires.
Um...what are the names of the rpm files for GNUCash ver 1.6x? I have both RH7.2 cdroms and had to go to GNUCash.org to get Gilly and G-?. Is Gilly on a RH 7.2 cdrom?
gnucash-1.6.2-1.i386.rpm Guppi-0.35.5-7.i386.rpm g-wrap-1.1.10-5.i386.rpm
