How do I upgrade HomeBank

Also, I tried to open homebank.3.3.tar.gz, but I can't remember the commands. (It's been a long time since I've had to use the command line in linux.) Maybe some elp her, but would this be an upgrade or a replacement?

Where exactly are you stopped ?
Linus normal installl from source process:
after untargz, you must go into homebank directory and type:
- ./configure
- make
- sudo make install

provide me as attachment any error message you get for me to help you !

Here is copy from terminal--I'm using Ubuntu feisty

ron@ron:~/homebank-3.3$ ./configure
checking for a BSD-compatible install... /usr/bin/install -c
checking whether build environment is sane... yes

Providing the file config.log should have helped me a bit more, but here is what I have found !
What I have done is simply ask google with 'C compiler cannot create executables'

Maybe you should check with Synaptic, you have 'libc' and 'libc6-dev' installed on your feisty
Also you will need gtk, glib, gtk-dev, glib-dev and libofx

A 3.3 package is available on feisty-backport repository

To Maxime--
Thank you very much for your current advice. The upgrade went great and
I really like the changes and improvements.

A Great Program!!!

All ok now.

i can't upgrade from 3.3 to 3.5, there is no deb in the repository of ubutu gutsy and the source is aledging about dependency on gtk

here is the log of the install:

...
...
checking for a BSD-compatible install... /usr/bin/install -c
checking for pkg-config... /usr/bin/pkg-config
checking pkg-config is at least version 0.9.0... yes
checking for DEPS... configure: error: Package requirements (gtk+-2.0 >= 2.10 glib-2.0 >= 2.12) were not met:

No package 'gtk+-2.0' found
No package 'glib-2.0' found

Consider adjusting the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable if you
installed software in a non-standard prefix.

Alternatively, you may set the environment variables DEPS_CFLAGS
and DEPS_LIBS to avoid the need to call pkg-config.
See the pkg-config man page for more details.

sudo apt-get install libgtk2.0-dev should take care of those dependencies ( i think)

thanks, that did help

3.5 is great.
but I like more the old icon =P

I am running 8.10. Homebank installs with 3.8 from the repository. How do I get the 4.0.2 version? Do I need to install tarball or are their plans for the latest version in the repo?

Thanks
