imwithstupid Posted June 18, 2004 Report Share Posted June 18, 2004 I'm trying to compile gnucash but it says that it can't find gnome-config. Where/what package do I install to get this? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
devries Posted June 18, 2004 Report Share Posted June 18, 2004 In libgnomexx-devel. So do urpmi ..... (Btw, gnucash is on one of the Mandrake CSs. You don't have to compile it.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
imwithstupid Posted June 18, 2004 Author Report Share Posted June 18, 2004 I know it should be on the package list...but its not...and I can't figure out why not so i'm compiling it. Thanks for your help though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crashdamage Posted June 18, 2004 Report Share Posted June 18, 2004 GnuCash is nice, but compiling it can really be a bear. Have you tried just opening a terminal as root and: # urpmi gnucash If so, what happens? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
imwithstupid Posted June 20, 2004 Author Report Share Posted June 20, 2004 ok...i tried something else...I downloaded the rpms (because the computer i'm installing it on isn't connected to the internet at the moment) and if i try to install gnucash it says I need libgnucash. And when I try to install libgnucash it says i need to install gnucash. How do I get it so it does the thing where it installs them both at the same time without stopping because the dependencies aren't installed?

imwithstupid Posted June 20, 2004 Author Report Share Posted June 20, 2004 tried urpmi gnucash...but it doesn't work so i tried it with the --allow-nodeps switch and it seemed to work but then asked me if i wanted to proceed even though I didn't have libgnome installed. so I tried to install libgnome...but it tells me that its already there. wierd Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DragonMage Posted June 21, 2004 Report Share Posted June 21, 2004 It's weird that gnucash is not available on the cds.. Or it is not shown on rpmdrake. Anyway, if you have broadband, why don't you put one of the main mandrake repository into your urpmi database, so typing urpmi gnucash will automatically download the rpm and its dependencies and install it automatically. Just go to http://easyurpmi.zarb.org/ to setup your main repository and this way, you don't even need the cds anymore. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
imwithstupid Posted June 21, 2004 Author Report Share Posted June 21, 2004 Yeah, I agree that it is weird, but I am using Mdk 10 rc1 for amd 64 so it isn't exactly super stable. I actually sort of did what you just said last night. I poked around one of the ftp mirrors for mdk and got it to work. Basically if you set up a new resource in rpmdrake that is to an ftp mirror that references the hdlist file not the hdlist2 file. Then it works, downloads the dependencies and everything. You just have to remember to disable that resource for regular used (CD installs, updating, etc.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
