OK I tried compiling it myself. I downloaded the tarball and unzipped it into a /usr/loca/src/build-gnucash:
Then I tried to follow the instructions here: https://wiki.gnucash.org/wiki/Building_On_Linux , so I ran: n@g:/usr/local/src/build-gnucash-3.5$ sudo cmake -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/usr/local -- Checking for module 'glib-2.0>=2.40' -- CMake Error at /usr/share/cmake-3.5/Modules/FindPkgConfig.cmake:367 (message): A required package was not found Call Stack (most recent call first): /usr/share/cmake-3.5/Modules/FindPkgConfig.cmake:532 (_pkg_check_modules_internal) common/cmake_modules/GncFindPkgConfig.cmake:253 (PKG_CHECK_MODULES) CMakeLists.txt:194 (gnc_pkg_check_modules) -- Configuring incomplete, errors occurred! See also "/usr/local/src/build-gnucash-3.5/CMakeFiles/CMakeOutput.log". n@g:/usr/local/src/build-gnucash-3.5$ Now I am stuck, how do a learn to read the output of these messages, it is not clear what I am supposed to do? How do I learn this stuff or what do I do? I just want gnucash to run. -- Nathan T Alexander n...@nathanalexander.net On Fri, May 17, 2019, at 6:17 AM, Nathan T Alexander wrote: > Thanks for replying, Colin > > I am using: > > :~$ cat /etc/lsb-release > DISTRIB_ID=Ubuntu > DISTRIB_RELEASE=16.04 > DISTRIB_CODENAME=xenial > DISTRIB_DESCRIPTION="Ubuntu 16.04.6 LTS" > > And I happen to use Xubuntu variant, (not sure if that matters) > > ok now I am trying to figure out if its going to be easier to compie > my own gnucash as instructed on your website or if I can get the > gnucash 3.3 package from another version of ubuntu > > Any tips are greatly appreciated > > -- > Nathan T Alexander > n...@nathanalexander.net > > On Tue, May 14, 2019, at 3:36 PM, Colin Law wrote: > > On Tue, 14 May 2019 at 08:22, Nathan T Alexander > > <n...@nathanalexander.net> wrote: > > > > > > Hi, great app, love it so much. > > > > > > The version on ubuntu and in debian is 2.6. > > > > Which version of Ubuntu?
