<para><emphasis>Note:</emphasis> If you run <command>make check</command>
before installing the package, you may need to do it as the

class='directory'>/usr/share/guile</filename> can be updated.</para>
<para>If you want to install the Help documentation, and you have

<title>Command Explanations</title>
<para><parameter>--prefix=/opt/gnome</parameter>:
<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/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-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
<filename>doc/README.HBCI</filename> in the
<application>GnuCash</application> source tree for complete information.</para>
<para><command>chown -R root:root
/opt/gnome/share/gnucash/doc/html/html</command>: If the package is built
by any user other than <systemitem class="username">root</systemitem>, the
ownership of the installed documentation files are set incorrectly. This
command changes the ownership to root:root.</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>
