GnuCash installation -- problem with goffice version
An attempt to install GnuCash was interrupted by the following error message: " checking for libgoffice-0.4 >= 0.4.0... no checking for libgoffice-0.3 >= 0.3.0... no checking for libgoffice-1 >= 0.0.4... no configure: error: Cannot find libgoffice. " I have verified that "goffice @0.5.0" is active. What's the best way to proceed? TIA, paul Mac OS X 10.4.10, MBP 3,1 (mid-June 2007 model), X-Code 2.4.1, X11 1.1.3 - XFree86 4.4.0, MacPorts 1.520
Is it safe to edit the 'configure' file to include a check for "libgoffice-0.5 >= 0.5.0", or is that asking for trouble? On 6 Oct 2007, at 19:43, Paul Henegan wrote:

At the moment, gnucash won't build against libgoffice-0.5. Even if you edit the makefile to get past configure, other compile problems occur. I only tried it once, so I'm fuzzy on the details... -- David Reiser dbreiser@gmail.com

Is there an archive of older ports? How do I "roll back" goffice-0.4 ? TIA, paul

So somebody will have to create a new port "goffice03" by checking out the latest 0.3 revision of goffice out of the repository, copying it to a new port, testing and committing it. Then gnucash (and probably gnucash-devel) must be made to depend on goffice03 instead of goffice. Even though this won't take long, I don't have time to do it this week. I can, however, commit patches if somebody creates, tests (!), and submits them. Regards, Marc

James Schofield was so kind and did this. Patches have been committed to the repository. Everybody afflicted by the goffice update, please wait 12 hours, sudo port selfupdate, and try again. Regards, Marc

Thank You! Will we need to clean and refetch gnucash? TIA, paul -- Mac OS X 10.4.10, MBP 3,1 (mid-June 2007 model), X-Code 2.4.1, X11 1.1.3 - XFree86 4.4.0, MacPorts 1.520

port should clean gnucash for you if you issue the install command again after doing a selfupdate. You will thus have to rebuild from start, but there will be no need to refetch. [In theory, people who still have a working gnucash installation should not have to rebuild at all. In practice, fixing things for those who did try to upgrade goffice requires a bump to the gnucash revision number, which means everybody will get a rebuild of gnucash sooner or later. Sorry. If you don't need upgrades for other reasons, you can wait until the next revision of gnucash before you rebuild.] Regards, Marc

I had to issue "sudo port deactivate goffice" first. However now that gnucash has installed ok, when I try to start it I get "gnc.bin-Message: main: binreloc relocation support was disabled at configure time. ERROR: Value out of range 0 to 16: -1 what should I try?
