Praise the Lord for Ubuntu (or Debian, if you must). I used to like Slackware, but oh man, the dependency chase. I had to compile stuff from elsewhere to get the subversion repo working, though. What exactly is the deal as regards GnuCash using guile 1.6 versus 1.8.

Actually, the P&L accounts are straighforward enough - it's the equities section that takes some getting used to. One thing I just noticed, which I don't really like, is that if you sell all your shares in a company, the advanced portfolio report doesn't display it. It's possible that I might make my own completely new module to do portfolio reporting the way *I* like it. I'm not necessarily saying that my way is better, just that it suits me better. It makes sense according to my own logic, and it's something that I think others will like, too. I'll probably work on my own python homebrew effort first - it has almost recovered from the new year. _______________________________________________ gnucash-devel mailing list gnucash-devel@gnucash.org https://lists.gnucash.org/mailman/listinfo/gnucash-devel
