12:48:17 <me_name> hi! i would appreciate some help: i have a problem with retrieving exchange rates with gnucash 2.2.9. perl and finance:quote is installed. when trying to retrieve prices i get a popup that it is unable to do this. nothing else. can anyone help please?
12:49:14 *** bentob0x has quit IRC
12:50:30 <warlord> me_name: it's a bug in F::Q. You need to patch F::Q to get currency quotes working.
12:56:36 <me_name> warlord: where can i get a patch and how to apply? i am using windows. cannot find anything on f:q homepage. i have the latest release installed...
12:57:23 <warlord> me_name: read the gnucash list archives. this has been discussed many times over the past few weeks.
13:08:17 <me_name> warlord: thanks, found it, works now. goodbye!

15:00:53 *** jimbt has joined #gnucash
15:02:08 <jimbt> can any one walk me through adding the repository for gnucash. I'm using ubuntu netbook remix
15:02:10 <jimbt> ?
15:02:29 <warlord> what do you mean "adding the repository for gnucash"?
15:03:26 <jimbt> not sure how to install gnucash? was reading support guides and says add repository
15:03:39 <warlord> on ubuntu: apt-get install gnucash
15:03:50 <warlord> but that will get you 2.2.6, not the more recent 2.2.9
15:05:10 <jimbt> in terminal, says permission denied
15:05:38 <warlord> are you root?
15:06:20 <jimbt> no. sorry I dont know terminal. how do I get to root?
15:06:38 <warlord> RTFM
15:06:46 <warlord> This is like "installing a new program 101"
15:06:58 <warlord> consider "su" or "sudo"
15:08:14 <jsled> http://wiki.gnucash.org/wiki/Ubuntu has some details, as well.
15:08:55 <jimbt> ok. done. says some packages could not be installed.

15:16:34 *** delaman1 has joined #gnucash
15:18:20 <delaman1> having trouble compiling http://pastebin.com/m7faa09e5 gnucash 2.3.3
15:18:55 <warlord> What is /usr/local/lib/libgio-2.0.so ?
15:19:09 <warlord> What OS/Distro are you using?
15:19:13 <delaman1> debian
15:19:33 <warlord> Where did /usr/local/lib/libgio.. come from?
15:19:42 <jsled> it belongs to … glib, here.
15:19:56 <jsled> Why is it in /usr/local/, though? Sounds like a recipe for disaster. :)
15:19:58 <warlord> right, so why is it in /usr/local/lib?
15:20:18 <delaman1> donno
15:20:25 <warlord> well, what did you do?
15:20:50 <delaman1> last thing i did was "make uninstall"
15:20:56 <warlord> of what?
15:21:01 <delaman1> gnucash 2.3.1
15:21:12 <warlord> well, how did glib get into /usr/.ocal?
15:21:20 <jsled> delaman: is there a /usr/lib/libgio-2.0.so ? Did you compile glib yourself?
15:21:40 <delaman1> i dont believe i compiled glib, let me update the machine
15:22:24 <delaman1> machine is up to date
15:22:36 <warlord> rm -rf /usr/local
15:22:40 <warlord> apt-get build-dep gnucash
15:22:41 <jsled> don't do that.
15:22:42 <warlord> try again?
15:22:45 <jsled> warlord: that's dangerous.
15:23:23 <warlord> well, you could also just reinstall the whole machine..
15:23:59 <delaman1> too much work
15:24:07 <jsled> delaman1: it's weird to have /usr/local/lib/libgio-2.0.so. glib is a pretty "low" library, is is always installed into /usr.
15:24:23 <jsled> s/is is/and is/
15:25:00 <jsled> It roughly looks like the gnucash build is getting confused when configuring, picking up maybe a mix of /usr/lib/ and /usr/local/lib/ libraries and versions.

15:36:29 *** jimbt has joined #gnucash
15:39:57 <jimbt> thanks for the help warlord. Gnucash now appears in synaptic
15:40:12 <warlord> jimbt: you're welcome.
15:40:17 <jimbt> install gnucash-common and docs
15:41:04 <jimbt> gnucash wont install due to broken packages
15:43:41 <jimbt> Depends: libgoffice-0-6 (>= 0.6.5) but it is not installable
15:43:41 <jimbt> Depends: libofx4 but it is not going to be installed
15:43:41 <jimbt> Depends: libosp5 (>= 1.5.2-1) but it is not installable
15:43:41 <jimbt> Depends: libdate-manip-perl but it is not installable
15:44:35 <jimbt> any idea what this means?
15:45:00 <jsled> just what it says? the package you want depends on other packages that are not installable?
15:45:27 <jsled> jimbt: did you go through <http://wiki.gnucash.org/wiki/Ubuntu#LaunchPad> ?
15:46:23 <jimbt> Reading now
15:46:24 <jsled> golly, it looks like even that is just 2.2.6 ?
15:46:29 * jsled rollseyes
15:47:20 <jsled> it seems "karmic koala" has 2.2.9 http://packages.ubuntu.com/search?suite=default§ion=all&arch=any&searchon=names&keywords=gnucash

18:39:49 <puck> With Gnucash using Pg as a backend, does it store a running total for the accounts, or does it calculate the balance?
18:39:58 <puck> Just wondering about being able to do ad-hoc reports easily.
