GnuCash 2.0 is out but not keyworded ~ppc. Does anyone know whether there's a reason for this beyond the developers not having a ppc box to test it on? |

Not sure about GnuCash.
For such packets I have my /opt folder, and all the subdirs (bin, lib, src, var, etc) in that directory. Then I configure the packages with
Code: | ./configure --prefix=/opt |
and install the whole thing into the /opt tree. If it works, fine; then let the Gentoo guys know. If it doesn't then you know why it doesn't have the ~ppc keyword set _________________ Jens Troeger

Well, you can test if yourself and then file a bug report. |

Wouldn't it be easier to just edit /etc/portage/package.keywords and add ~x86 to gnucash? |

I guess that would work too... But why do it the easy way when there's a much more complicated one? _________________ Jens Troeger

echo "app-office/gnucash -* ~*" >> /etc/portage/package.keywords
and
echo "x11-libs/goffice" >> /etc/portage/package.keywords
and
emerge -av gnucash
builds fine... _________________ "One has a moral responsibility to disobey unjust laws."
