I see gnucash is up to version 2.2.1 as of 8-20-07. Has anyone compiled this on puppy from source to see if it will run without the floating point problems?

I have been checking out these finance proggys and wouldn't you know it I really like moneydance, except you have to pay for it.

Also, I have been looking for kmymoney2 for puppy but cannot find a pet or dotpup. Can anyone point me in the right direction please?

Ok, thanks SimplyFlower. I am running TeenPup which has a bunch of KDE libs already and was hoping kmymoney2 would run on it without any additional libs. So you just compile it from source then?

Its been a while since anything was added to this post and I'm still looking for linux based alternatives to windows based acounting software, it truly is the last necessity before I can honestly do everything I need within puppy.

Has anyone found anything that actually works?

Sorry hankyknot - I can't get past running QuickBooks under Wine. It works perfectly for me although I accept QuickBooks is not ideal for personal bookkeeping.
I'd be very interested if somebody got the latest version of Gnucash running on Puppy.
Cheers

I'm looking for a business accounting package more than a personal one. Will have another crack at wine over the weekend and see how I get on. Keep your eyes open for a few "help desperately needed with wine" posts Very Happy

I've read the discussion of finance programs for Puppy with interest.

Has anyone tried MoneyDance on Puppy? It runs in Java on WIndows, Mac or Linux.
I've tried it on my Mac and it ran fine. It _is_ a commercial program ($29); not open source.

..I dont knoiw enough about linux to know which one to try and how to load it to puppy.

linuxcanada.com has a product called Quasar which is available precompiled for the following flavours;

CentOS
Fedora
Kubuntu
Mandriva
RHEL
SuSE
Windows

Which one is best suited to puppy and how do I go about installing non pup apps?

Simply locked me out again so I'm now determined to get a Linux based basic accounting app for my business.

I see that it has been a long time since this topic had any real activity. Is anyone still working on getting and accounting system into Puppy or is this a totally dead issue?

Just a short update would be appreciated.
