Build trouble with gnucash 2.4.2 on openSUSE 11.3

Hi guys,

When trying to build gnucash 2.4.2 on my openSUSE 11.3 system, I am running into the following trouble:

i assume you are building for fun, since Gnucash is available via
YaST, and the source <http://www.gnucash.org/download.phtml> says
“Most linux distributions come bundled with a version of GnuCash,
though it’s not always the most recent version and it may not have
been installed by default. Still it is recommended to use the
GnuCash version that comes with your distribution.”

couple of things:

first: according to the instructions (INSTALL) in the tar ball ‘make
check’ is an unrequired optional step…so, if it gives you trouble,
try following the recommended way…

second: you are running as root and should NOT! it is always
recommended to run configure and make as a simple user and then revert
to root for ‘make install’–these are standard instructions, do not
get creative (unless you want problems)…

hint: follow recommended procedure…and, let us know how you get on…

Hi
What were your compile options?

If you look on the build service you can see what is done for openSUSE (Including some patches);
https://build.opensuse.org/package/view_file?file=gnucash.spec&package=gnucash&project=openSUSE%3A11.3&srcmd5=c4adb1a5648c71d098ddd747adb0f510

They don’t use the make check…
