Derek,
I run PCLinuxOS, & it is Gnucash ver 4.1.
I have been a happy PCLinuxOS user for about 15 years. I love PCL because it
just works.
Try it off a USB drive, or SD card.
(I run Ubuntu on my Energy server, & must say I prefer PCL! Emoncms (that I
use) is set up for Ubuntu, so too hard to c
Derek,
Before you go too far down the Mailman rabbit hole, if you have a
Linux-based Web/E-mail host, they may offer a Mailman installation as an
option that is as simple as giving the list a name and setting a few
preferences. (Unless you really want to run your own Mailman server that is)
Thank You!

N-n-no, I didn't see it. But I meant I didn't quite follow the instructions
that were there.

and can get other problems, too.

Thank you once again David. Your detailed explanations helped to fill in
some of my blank spots in understanding the build process.
Make had some red error lines when I rebuilt gnucash, and not knowing
how to figure them out (it worked the first time I built it) I switched

Derek,
It is possible it will cause problems. When you specify the prefix the
installation procedure puts the libraries and shared resources in particular
locations. AFAIK it doesn't create environment variables in your system but
the choice of prefix goes affect how GnuCash looks for files intern
Sorry David, my previous email didn't go to the group. Here's my problem

Bruce, In addition to Frank's suggestion, if you drill down through the

references to Flatpak builds which is another way to backport GnuCash

perhaps you should start with

Hello,
That makes sense, David and John. Thanks. According to this list Ubuntu 20
supports Gnucash 3.8
https://packages.ubuntu.com/focal/allpackages?format=txt.gz
Are there any major advantages and improvements to versions 3 and 4?
Derek
Unfortunately, the only listing there for 3.8 is: gnucas
Check out this page and references therein for most details:
https://gnucash.org/new_features-4.0.phtml
There are probably a few minor differences overlooked.

Derek,
The choices on what versions are supplied wiith a given OS version are made
by the maintainers of the OS distribution. They usually use the current
GnuCash version (but not always) at the time of release of a new OS version.

as I understand them the Ubuntu & Debian (which I use) distros are more
conservative and tend towards safety rather than speed of releases.
So the versions they carry are well behind the bleeding edge, because they
wait for more thorough testing for stability. That helps less techie/geeky

I installed GnuCash from Ubuntu software (Ubuntu 18.04), and it is

through Ubuntu's distribution?
