[John Andrews]

I'm trying to install Gnucash but first I went after Gnucash-docs and it 
won't ./configure.

jla at vstrom:~$ cd gnucash-docs-1.8.4

configure: error: Berkeley db library required for GnuCash
jla at vstrom:~/gnucash-docs-1.8.4$

I tried to get Berkeley db library with apt-get but  I couldn't get it. Then I 
found the Berkeley db home page. Should I down load Berkeley DB 4.4.20 with 
or without encryption. Or Berkeley DB XML 2.2.13. Or Berkeley Db Java 
Edition.What's db_185.h and db1/db.h and db4/db_185.h. They all seem to be 
missing.Also dbopen is missing.
	Also can OSX Tiger configure and install Gnucash? What developement and 
libraries does OSX come with and what sort of package management does it use? 
It seems to say that OSX can use Gnucash but I am wondering is open source 
readily available to use by OSX? How would you set up or use the repositories 
or is it preset-up for this type of thing?
