09:43:39 <warlord> jsled: FYI, when I committed my doc change yesterday I got an error from the post-commit hook.
09:43:43 <jsled> oh?
09:45:13 <warlord> Yeah. I dont remember the exact error.
09:45:28 <warlord> But it was from committing to gnucash-docs/..
10:04:31 <warlord> I'm wondering if it's something that "changed" during the update.. I dont think I've made any commits since the update.

12:40:18 <warlord> man this 802.11(b) AP is SLOW. I think I need to buy my parents' a nice gift.
12:40:49 <briand> any GnuCash developers here?
12:40:54 <warlord> hahahahaha
12:41:05 <briand> ??
12:41:14 <warlord> briand: yes, there are many devs here.
12:41:33 <briand> sorry, 1st time on IRC
12:41:50 <warlord> no worries.
12:41:56 <warlord> go ahead and ask your question.
12:42:12 <briand> I just wanted to know if the project was being actively developed, as I run a small business
12:42:54 <warlord> well... define "actively"
12:44:23 <briand> I've noticed a lot of Linux projects on sourceforge that are no longer in development, a lot of them, which doesn't make me confident in learning how to use their software
12:45:07 <warlord> We dont use SF for anything other than file distribution
12:45:22 <warlord> (they have lots of b/w for free)
12:45:49 <briand> Ah, I'm trying to 'come off' Windows and have been using Quickbooks 2004 (which i hate)
12:46:13 <briand> I need a linux equiv... I'm on Ubuntu now
12:47:44 <warlord> gnucash has its blemishes, but it's pretty good.
12:48:00 <jsled> I'd say gnucash is being slowly developed ... it's not inactivity, but it might appear so at times.
12:48:55 <briand> What is the best way to ask Q's about latest development or about current 2.2.1 version? via this IRC or Forums?
12:49:25 <jsled> there are no forums; there are mailing lists. But here is a as good a place as any.
12:49:43 <jsled> Of course, the mailing list archives might answer your questions. Also the wiki and faq, depending.
12:50:24 <briand> Thanks, I'd love to help from time to time with development, but my expertise is with web technologies not C for example
12:53:47 <jsled> well, there's plenty of good ways to help.
12:55:57 <briand> how so?
12:55:57 *** cj has quit IRC
12:56:37 <jsled> testing. Documentation updating. summarizing good -user threads into FAQ entries. bug-triage.
12:58:13 <briand> OK - thanks, I'll give that some thought

17:11:00 <tim_abell> hello, I've foolishly upgraded to ubuntu 7.10, and now I can't build gnucash any more :(
17:11:46 <tim_abell> I'm getting "SLIB support... configure: error: Cannot find SLIB. Are you sure you have it installed?", but can't find a package that supplies it. Any ideas anyone?
17:12:34 <jsled> why not use the ubuntu-provided gnucash package?
17:12:47 <tim_abell> i'm planning on doing some hacking ;)
17:12:54 <jsled> Ah, cool.
17:13:09 <tim_abell> life keeps getting in the way
17:13:21 <jsled> A common idiom is to use the "build deps" option for the provided-package to at least get all the deps installed.
17:13:30 <jsled> The slib package is usually called "slib". :)
17:13:47 <jsled> But, the gnucash package should list in its dependencies specifically the package and version required.
17:14:44 <tim_abell> oh that's cool, i'll give that a go, i've not used build deps before
17:15:16 <warlord> tim_abell: yeah: apt-get build-deps gnucash
17:17:10 <tim_abell> man, i wish I'd found that a long time ago!
17:17:21 <jsled> heh.
17:17:57 <tim_abell> bingo. nice one jsled
17:18:27 <tim_abell> i think it was cos i'd installed guile 1.8 and not 1.6. I was stumped because slib said it was already installed
17:18:52 <jsled> slib usually needs to be installed after guile.
17:19:18 <jsled> (so it can register itself into the guile installation)
17:19:33 <tim_abell> oh okay. i'll have to take you're word for that (whooshing sound)
17:25:40 <tim_abell> jsled, thanks for your help, life has got in the way again, will have to tackle the next error another day. over and out.
17:25:54 <tim_abell> got much further
17:26:19 <jsled> cool.
17:26:34 *** tim_abell has quit IRC
17:27:33 <andrewsw> dag. I missed a debian problem! I know it pains you guys to deal with those ;)
17:28:48 <jsled> heh
