GNUcash from AUR doesn't install

Hi,

I am trying to install gnucash 2.2.2 from aur using yaourt. It complains that it cannot find "slib" which I do have installed (also from the repos).

below is the output:

Re: GNUcash from AUR doesn't install

See the comments on aur page, it's said gnucash doesn't work with latest slib.

Re: GNUcash from AUR doesn't install

Have a look at the recent comments for the GNUCash package in AUR. The latest comment:

-----
Update again.

The maintainer of slib has updated this package. After upgrading to slib 3a5-4, there is no need anymore to do any manual action. A fresh install of GNUCash and its dependencies works now out of the box! Just keep in mind to use guile 1.8.3!

Hope it helps.

Re: GNUcash from AUR doesn't install

gnucash 2.2.4 needs gnucash 2.2.3 to be already installed, otherwise compilation fails:

/usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lgnc-backend-file-utils

Worked for me today on x86_64.  Thanks a bunch to all responsible.
