Thanks for taking the time to write this up Kevin, I've been
wanting to try myself but didn't feel I had the time to figure out
all the hoops.
Oh, trust me, I didn't figure out most of them. I just knew who to ask.
A few questions though. Are you swapping back and forth between 1.8
and 1.9 or just sticking with 1.9?
I'm sticking with 1.9.
What strategies can I use to move back and forth between the two
versions - the data files I can handle (make backups, specify a
separate version when launching gnucash etc), it's gnucash that
worries me.
Actually, I just tried re-installing 1.8.11 via fink and was able to
start both of them up concurrently. One big caveat here: I do *not*,
repeat *not* have gnucash-1.9 installed in my PATH. I have it
installed in a subdir of my home directory (configured with --
prefix=~/usr, note the tilde) and specify the full path (~/usr/bin/
gnucash ) when starting it up. My understanding is that having
gnucash-1.9 and -1.8 both in the PATH could cause Unhappiness.
Also, remember that data files saved with 1.9 are not compatible with
1.8. You can only go one way.
Once 1.9 is compiled and installed in /usr/local can I fink
reinstall gnucash 1.8 and just launch them from their respective
locations?
So it would appear. Note, however, that I have not thoroughly tested
the install with both present and others have noted problems having
both installed concurrently (David Reiser was actually swapping
between two separate fink trees, I believe).
If I can answer any other questions, please let me know. I'm glad to
help if I can.
