<para>To test the results, issue <command>make check</command> as the

<application>GnuCash</application>-&gnucash-version; is a
<application>GNOME</application>-1.4 application.</para>
<para><parameter>--sysconfdir=/etc</parameter>: This installs configuration
files in <filename class='directory'>/etc/gnucash</filename> instead of
<filename class='directory'>/opt/gnome-1.4/etc/gnucash</filename>.</para>
<para><parameter>--disable-guppi</parameter>: This compiles
<application>GnuCash</application> without support for creating
GUI graphs and plots. Remove this option if you have
<application>Guppi</application> installed.</para>
<!-- <para><parameter>-disable-error-on-warning</parameter>: The build will fail
if you used <option>-enable-hbci</option>, as a warning is generated. This
option forces the build to ignore the warning.</para> -->
<para><option>--enable-sql</option>: This parameter is required if you want
to build in SQL support using <application>PostgreSQL</application>.</para>
<para><option>--enable-ofx</option>: This parameter is required if you want
to build in on-line banking support using
<application>LibOFX</application>.</para>
<para><option>--enable-hbci</option>: This parameter is required if you want
to build in on-line banking support using
<application>AqBanking</application>/<application>AqHBCI</application>. See

<para>If you wish to use <application>GnuCash</application> to retrieve
stock price quotes and stock historical information, you'll need to
install the following <application>Perl</application> modules:
<xref linkend="perl-lwp"/>, <xref linkend="perl-date-manip"/>,
<xref linkend="perl-html-parser"/>, <xref linkend="perl-finance-quote"/>
and <xref linkend="perl-finance-quotehist"/>.</para>
<note>
<para><application>GnuCash</application> must be run as
<systemitem class="username">root</systemitem> once before use. Simply
executing <command>gnucash</command> from an <application>X</application>
terminal and clicking on the cancel button is sufficient. This must be
done prior to setting up accounts as an unprivileged user, due to the
fact that <application>GnuCash</application> must update scheme catalogs
before it is used.</para>
