gnucash on alpha

2006-08-11 Thread Thomas Bushnell BSG
There is a Debian maintainer with an alpha machine who can install the gnucash build dependencies in a chroot on his machine. Since gnucash fails utterly on alpha (with a crash as soon as a register is opened) this seems worth investigating. I don't have time in the near future. Is there a deve
