All I did was:

sudo apt-get install libdbd-mysql gnucash

700MB smaller installer.

Yes, but are you able to use the MySQL or sqlite backends?
The packaged version on the repositories does not have that support complied.

It's not working for me. I get to:

sudo guile -c "(use-modules (ice-9 slib)) (require 'new-catalog)"

And I get the error:

ERROR: In procedure primitive-load-path:
ERROR: Unable to find file "slib/guile.init" in load path

How do I remove this please, specifically:

sudo aptitude install texinfo subversion intltool libdbi0-dev libdbd-{sqlite3,pgsql,mysql} guile-1.8 guile-1.8-dev doxygen libdbi0-dev libdbd-{sqlite3,pgsql,mysql}

and

sudo guile -c "(use-modules (ice-9 slib)) (require 'new-catalog)"

to get back as if I had not installed this, please?

Thanks,
Dave

I keep getting this message.
Unable to find the source package for "gnucash"

Do you know what's wrong with my repository?
