Quicken Type App for Linux

[Spaceninja]

I am using Fedora Core 5 on a spare system that I had laying about, and the only application I can't seem to replace is Quicken. I have tried to install a few apps, Kmymoney and GNUcash and I can't get them installed. Everytime I go to compile they want something else, so I download that, install, then that app wants something else, after about the 5th thing I had to install I gave up.

I just want something easy, an app like quicken that doesn't require 500 oddball apps or libraries to be installed just to run. I did a full install of Core 5 just to try and avoid these issues.

Anyway, if anyone knows of an easy to use app let me know. Thanks.

Well, the first problem is you are trying to manually install things. That is not needed, Fedora has a nice feature rich package management system called Yum (http://www.fedorafaq.org/#installsoftware). Read through the documentation on it (or just try to figure it out your self, it is very straight forward) and try to install Gnucash with it.

In my opinion GnuCash is probably the best personal accounting software Linux has to offer.

I'll give it a shot, when I used Linux as my primary OS a few years back I always built things from scratch, guess it was just the way I learned how to install apps.

Ah, well... a person certainly could, but like you found out... there are a lot of dependencies for most packages and trying to solve them all can be a real pain in the ass. I am sure you heard the term 'dependency hell' a few years back, well... with package managers that isn't such a problem anymore.
