GNUcash is a flaming pile of crap. Why don't you examine this list of dependencies for me:
gdk-imlib1 (>= 1.9.8-4)
libart2 (>= 1.0.56-3)
libaudiofile0
libc6 (>= 2.1.2)
libdb2 (>= 1:2.4.14-7)
libesd0 (>= 0.2.16) | libesd-alsa0 (>= 0.2.16)
libglib1.2 (>= 1.2.0)
libgnome32 (>= 1.0.56-3)
libgnomesupport0 (>= 1.0.56-3)
libgnomeui32 (>= 1.0.56-3)
libgtk1.2 (>= 1.2.7-1)
libgtkxmhtml1 (>= 1.0.56-3)
libguile6 (>= 1:1.3.4-2)
libjpeg62
libncurses5
libpng2
libreadline4 (>= 4.1)
libxpm4
libz1
xlib6g (>= 3.3.6)
libwww-perl
slib
scm
guile1.3
libguile6-slib
perl-5.005
eperl
and give me the names of a couple of libraries that GNUcash does not require?
The point is that the GNUcash developers see a neat feature in some esoteric library, decide to use it once or twice, rinse, and repeat. They couldn't design a decent product if their lives depended on it. It's a big bloated collection of about 3000 "cool hacks". I think I'll be sticking with Quicken, thank you.
