04:52:42 <kabads> I've used a different file to access last year's accounts and now I've gone back to working on this year's accounts. however, the 'transfer' column has disappeared from account pages (I can't see where the money has orginated from). Is there any way of getting it back (using windows I'm afraid)?

14:01:57 <ottoshmidt> error on ./configure
14:02:06 <ottoshmidt> checking for SLIB support... configure: error:
14:02:07 <ottoshmidt> Cannot find SLIB. Are you sure you have it installed?
14:02:07 <ottoshmidt> See http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=347922
14:02:07 <ottoshmidt> and http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=483631
14:02:34 <ottoshmidt> slib is installed

15:41:39 *** warlord-afk is now known as warlord
15:42:00 <warlord> ottoshmidt: most likely it's not correctly tied into your version of guile. Or you have multiple versions of guile installed.
15:42:13 <warlord> kabads: glad that worked!
15:42:20 <warlord> @op linas
15:42:20 *** gncbot sets mode: +o linas
15:42:29 <ottoshmidt> warlord, i figured that out
15:42:52 <warlord> ottoshmidt: ok
15:42:57 <ottoshmidt> but now i face this problem
15:43:08 <ottoshmidt> gnucash: error while loading shared libraries: libgnc-gnome.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
15:44:31 <warlord> did you "make install"?
15:44:43 <ottoshmidt> yes
15:45:14 <ottoshmidt> warlord, i m working on it
15:45:26 *** Sopli has joined #gnucash
15:45:50 <ottoshmidt> warlord, it complains on many files like that
15:46:08 <ottoshmidt> but all they are contained in /usr/local/lib/
15:46:50 <ottoshmidt> when i make symbolic links /usr/local/lib/libgnc-gnome.so.0 > /usr/lib
15:47:10 <ottoshmidt> it kinda works but now i am required
15:47:16 <ottoshmidt> libgnc-core-utils.so.0
15:47:17 *** Sopli has left #gnucash
15:48:25 <ottoshmidt> i don't know for how long i will have to make those symlink
15:48:31 <ottoshmidt> symlinks
15:49:52 *** nomeata has joined #gnucash
15:59:12 <warlord> ottoshmidt: Umm.. This soundslike you have multiple versions of gnucash installed?
15:59:21 <warlord> You shouldn't have to link anything into /usr/lib
16:00:37 <ottoshmidt> warlord, i installed gnucash from synaptic but uninstalled later
16:00:52 <ottoshmidt> warlord, i think some config file can have been retained
16:00:55 <warlord> Are you sure it was uninstalled?
16:00:58 <ottoshmidt> how can i check?
16:01:05 <warlord> And did you try building while it was installed?
16:01:13 <ottoshmidt> no
16:01:20 <warlord> Um, I dunno -- I don't use deb/ub
16:01:31 <ottoshmidt> uninstalled and then built from the source
16:02:22 <warlord> here's what I would do:
16:02:28 <warlord> 1) remove all the symlinks you just created
16:02:35 <warlord> 2) 'make uninstall'
16:02:38 <warlord> 3) make distclean
16:02:47 <warlord> 4) ./configure --prefix=/opt/gnucash
16:02:50 <warlord> 5) make
16:02:54 <warlord> 6) sudo make install
16:03:09 <warlord> actually, you probably need 'sudo make uninstall' for #2
16:04:26 <ottoshmidt> warlord, i ll try
16:05:22 <blathijs> Hmm, seems switching locales (from . to , as a decimal separator) screws up existing scheduled transactions...
16:06:29 <ottoshmidt> warlord, are you sure about /opt/gnucash?
16:06:50 <ottoshmidt> default is /usr/local/bin and i thought to try with /usr/bin
16:08:08 <warlord> Yes
16:08:14 <warlord> use --prefix
16:08:29 <ottoshmidt> /opt/gnucash?
16:09:14 *** nomeata has quit IRC
16:13:29 <warlord> yes
16:14:16 <warlord> trust me, if you don't want to use the version of gnucash packaged by your distriubution, you definitely want to use /opt/gnucash
16:16:16 <ottoshmidt> i see
16:16:36 *** markjenkinsparit has left #gnucash
16:16:56 <ottoshmidt> warlord, are you a developer?
16:18:01 <warlord> i was the lead dev for a while; haven't been developing recently
16:24:30 <ottoshmidt> warlord, gnucash is in c or c++?
16:26:15 <warlord> c
16:27:47 <ottoshmidt> does those to differ much?
16:27:51 <ottoshmidt> *two
16:30:32 <warlord> c v. c++?
16:30:51 <warlord> Ummmmmm.. If you dont know the answer to that question then does it really matter?
16:38:46 <ottoshmidt> ok never mind
16:39:19 <ottoshmidt> i intend to study c++ and wondered if i could have contributed to gnucash which is in c
16:39:23 <ottoshmidt> whatever
16:39:38 <ottoshmidt> now, do you know how can i switch to sql backend?
16:39:49 <ottoshmidt> i installed 2.3.15
16:40:22 <warlord> do you have the libdbi dbd backend installed for your target DB?
16:40:31 <warlord> If so, then just File -> Save As
16:41:01 <warlord> (and no, knowing C++ does not imply that you could program in C, and vice-versa. while the language are similar, they are not the same)
16:42:30 <ottoshmidt> omg i forgot to use --enable-dbi in configure
16:42:32 <ottoshmidt> :(]
16:42:57 <warlord> that could do it too
16:43:09 <warlord> although you shouldnt have to
16:43:40 <ottoshmidt> should i recompile?
16:45:10 <warlord> You'll need to
16:45:25 <warlord> Make sure you have libdbi installed
16:45:32 <warlord> you'll need to reconfigure, too
16:45:52 <ottoshmidt> ok
16:45:57 *** mib_bl5ayq has joined #gnucash
16:46:08 <ottoshmidt> libdbi0 debian package is installed, will it do?
16:47:13 <warlord> no, you need the development package
16:47:35 <ottoshmidt> libdbi0-dev is there too
16:47:47 <ottoshmidt> is it ok?
16:48:09 *** mib_bl5ayq has quit IRC
16:50:15 <warlord> that should be all you need.
16:50:24 <warlord> and if you had that, gnucash should have detected it (I think)
16:51:20 <ottoshmidt> warlord, what does make distclean do?
16:52:36 <warlord> cleans out all the generated files, to make it the same as if you had unpackaged the tarball
16:54:00 <ottoshmidt> ok
16:54:16 <ottoshmidt> take 3 :)
16:54:48 <warlord> heh
16:54:55 <warlord> At least gnucash is running this time, right?
16:55:57 <ottoshmidt> warlord, yes it was running on take 2
16:56:14 <ottoshmidt> now i am configuring with --enable-dbi
16:56:29 <warlord> ok
17:09:25 *** bentob0x has quit IRC
17:27:55 <ottoshmidt> warlord, only xml in the save as list :(
17:28:29 <warlord> okay, check src/backend/sql -- is that building?
17:29:44 <warlord> Also, which dbi dbd packages do you have installed?
17:32:46 <ottoshmidt> warlord, how do i check the first one?
17:33:00 <warlord> ls
17:33:30 <ottoshmidt> src/backend/sql you mean in unzipped folder?
17:34:13 <warlord> in your build dir
17:36:03 <ottoshmidt> warlord, there is such directory yes
17:36:11 <ottoshmidt> but no src i /opt/gnucash
17:40:22 <ottoshmidt> i guess dbd drivers or smth
17:40:30 <ottoshmidt> are not installed
17:40:34 <warlord> No, not in /opt/gnucash -- in your BUILD DIR
17:40:56 <warlord> And if you don't have DBD drivers installed, that would be why. You need DB Drivers to drive DBS.
17:42:22 <ottoshmidt> warlord, will need recompilation again?
17:44:03 <warlord> nope
17:44:15 <warlord> Not if src/backend/sql built the first time
17:45:19 <ottoshmidt> ok will try tomorrow
17:45:28 <ottoshmidt> it's too late here
17:45:38 <ottoshmidt> thanks for everything
17:45:48 <warlord> you're welcome. have a good night.
17:45:57 <warlord> i probably wont be around tomorrow.
17:46:18 <warlord> But just make sure you install the libdbi dbd drivers for your database and then re-run gnucash
17:48:32 <ottoshmidt> k
