 |
|
I would like to install Gnucash and as I understand it there is no gtk2 version of that program. I'm running gnome 2.3 on my system, and I don't have any other gnome 1.x stuff installed than that which is required by xmms.
So when I type emerge -p gnucash I get
| Code: |
These are the packages that I would merge, in order:
Calculating dependencies ...done!
[ebuild N ] gnome-base/libghttp-1.0.9-r3
[ebuild N ] dev-util/guile-1.6.4

As you can see it wants to downgrade gconf, libglade and control-center. How will this affect my gnome 2.3 system? Will they work together?
I would really appreciate some help, as my economy is really crappy and I need a personal finance manager...

| the versions that it says its downgrading it will actually install alongside IIRC. I've got gnucash installed in my gnome2.3. Just give it a go. if it does unmerge them then just run emerge again for them |

It will not downgrade anything. The different versions
will be installed in different portage SLOTS. |

Yes, but if I run gnucash under gnome 2.3, every time it tries to connect to the gconf server it dies with an "aborted, could not connect to configuration server..." type of error. I'm guessing it is because gnome 2.3 of course runs gconf 2.3 and not 1.x which is what gnucash wants.

Those are normal. It should still run.

Starting gnucash with "gconfd-1 & /usr/bin/gnucash" should solve the problem.
I had this a while back with gnucash, but it seemed to have gotten fixed. Don't know if it was gnucash or gconf that changed.
Usually I run gnucash under KDE, that may affect how gconf works.
