Gnucash and Precise Puppy 5.4.3 (Solved)
Gnucash and Precise Puppy 5.4.3 (Solved)
Never had a problem using Gnucash in prior Puppy releases, but it can't seem to get past the initial startup on my Precise Puppy 5.4.3 frugal install. All dependencies have been satisfied via the PPM. However, at startup, Gnucash says it cannot locate default values. It then offers several choices to resolve this issue (an issue explained in chapter 3 of the Gnucash help manual.) However, no matter which choices one selects, Gnucash crashes. With no success using my frugal install pupsave file, I tried starting over from a Live CD, each time selecting a different option from the choices presented, but always end up with the same negative result. Just for kicks, I ran a Lucid Live CD and installed Gnucash. It ran smoothly right out of the box. So, is there something amiss with GNC + Precise Puppy?

WeeBaldie2 thanks you
WeeBaldie2 thanks you a lot, seems to work.
I never had problems with Lucid Version (installing, because using it is another deal). Puppy only installs apps, no time to use GNU Cash. Grisbi is enough for my housewife.
