Hi,

I need further information to help you!

At what step exactly have you this message ?
- ./configure ?
- make ?
- make install ?
- when running ? from a console ?

Thx
Max.

Sorry for the lack of information ...

configure, make and make install are running like expected, nothing special to report there.

when running with "sh homebank" from the terminal, I get the error like described above.

Why don't you simply run it with 'homebank', not using sh ?
sh is a command interpreter, so you must use it with -c option to lanch an executable
sh -c homebank

I cleaned everuthing and did a rebuild to see what exactly was going wrong. Apparantly I missed a package which I didn't notice the first time. A script for installing the required packages would be nice. Thanks for the help and the nice software... I once wrote something similar in .NET on windows but never finished... I thought about rewriting it in Mono until I discovered Homebank...
