Thanks for providing the RH 7.0 rpms. I had a lot of trouble trying to upgrade before -- to build gnucash I needed g-wrap. To build g-wrap I needed a newer guile. I had problems upgrading guile and couldn't build g-wrap and thus couldn't build gnucash. Could you also post g-wrap and guile R

That's what's going on ! I, too, have found this to be extraordinarily confusing. Please consider changing this behavior. May I suggest considering all the splits of a transaction as a single "unit" for the putposes of editing, e.g., make all of the transaction end actions happen only when th
