----- Forwarded message from Reed Loefgren <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> ----- Delivered-To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Delivered-To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Date: Thu, 28 Sep 2000 22:47:39 -0600 From: Reed Loefgren <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> X-Mailer: Mozilla 4.7 [en] (X11; U; Linux 2.2.12 ppc) X-Accept-Language: en To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Off-Topic Semi-Rant... X-Filter: mailagent [version 3.0 PL68] for [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sir/Ms., I tried today, for a couple hours, to install gnucash on my LinuxPPC box. I failed due to an infuriating cycle of dependency failures and libraries that even rpmfind didn't list. I posted the LPPC users list once that I thought applications should be availible with all necessary libraries and dependencies included, like Abiword does (and they do it damn well, I might add.) Well, in short, I was excoriated to no end for that idea. Oh, too much duplication. Oh, too many bytes. Oh, too much time. But ya know, I don't buy it. You might pass this word on the the powers that be at gnucash.org; they've lost at least one customer already. Sincerely, Reed Loefgren -- The promise of the Machine Age was to increase Leisure, not Productivity. ----- End forwarded message ----- _______________________________________________ gnucash-devel mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.gnumatic.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/gnucash-devel
