Hi ! I have read your Odyssee in installing. It´s a pity that it didn´t work. With OpenSUSE and after some while trying everything workes fine for me now. Scripting capabilities for gnucash are very use- ful for me, even though they are not stable yet, not well documented, difficult to install ;-) I use the svn branch, my updatescript for svn looks like this :
localdir=/usr/local/src/gnucash/gnucash_svn svn up http://svn.gnucash.org/repo/gnucash/trunk $localdir cd $localdir make clean ./autogen.sh ./configure --enable-ofx --enable-aqbanking --enable-python-bindings --enable-dbi --enable-compile-warnings --enable-debug --prefix=/usr make sudo make install The problems with finding the needed dependencies arise often when trying to compile something new. It´s a bit tedious but after some work it´s usually possible to work that out. I don´t know about your specific problems here unfortunately. About the scripting : It´s possible to access your data while gnucash is not running, so it´s not possilbe to run scripts out of gnucash or in parallel. Until now everything I tried to do with my scripts was possible, even though not every possibility is implemented for python bindings yet. But I didn´t cross that border yet. These were just some thoughts. Good luck, if you want to try some further.
