versions of Motif).

Running:
|

--------
|
||||
Only the Motif version of GnuCash is currently functional. The Gnome version
|
||||
will give you a taste for Gnome, but most functions will not work. See the
|
||||
notes below for non-Linux support.
|
||||
|
||||
To be able to use certain features of GnuCash, such as reports and network stock
|
||||
price downloads, you must have the following packages below installed.
|
||||
RPM's for most of these can be found at http://rufus.w3.org/linux/
|
||||
|
||||
perl -- Almost any version of perl5 should work. I run perl-5.004
|
||||
eperl -- Almost any version of eperl should work. I run eperl-2.2.14
|
||||
|

In addition, some perl modules need to be installed:

|
||||
perl-LWP/libwww-perl-5.36
|
||||
perl-HTML/HTML-0.6
|
||||
perl-HTML/HTML-Parser-2.20

The binary-only distribution of GnuCash comes with several executables:
|
||||
one has Motif statically linked in, and another has Motif linked in dynamically.
|
||||
The motif dynamic-link version requires that either motif or lesstif be
|
||||
installed. Motif is a commercial product available form several vendors for
|
||||
approx $50. Lesstif is an open source clone available for free. Note that
|
||||
not all version of lesstif work with Gnucash: thhe the note below.
|
||||
|
||||
The binary-only distribution includes two binary files: 'gnucash.bin'
|
||||
and 'gnucash-static.bin'. The former requires a Motif shared library;
|
||||
the latter has Motif statically linked in. If you have Motif,
