Hi Derek, Thanks for the suggestion (which should work!): > cd src/backend/file > make > make install > > Viola, you're now running with the new code. > The errors I get are below. It seems like there must have been some problem when the initial directory structure was created, as /opt/gnucash/lib simply doesn't exist. Why would that happen?
Initially when I built gnucash then I missed off the prefix from this: ./configure --prefix=/opt/gnucash Later I built it with the prefix. Could that explain it?
