I decided to take a stab at tweaking some of KMyMoney's problems, starting with easy ones like the flashing red-on-yellow in the import-confirmation window.
08:46 EDT
For each of the files below, I was able to find what seemed to be the official web site at or near the top of a Google search.
- Got the source from Sourceforge
- Ran ./configure
- Message said that OFX support was not included because the libofx headers were not found. Got libofx source.
- Ran ./configure on that
- Message says libofx needs something called OpenSP, which apparently has something to do with reading certain document types (perhaps OFX is a form of XML?)
- Got OpenSP source.
- Ran ./configure on that. Success.
- Went back to libofx and ran ./configure again; it still couldn't find OpenSP. Oh, wait, I need to *compile* OpenSP.
- Went back to OpenSP and compiled it (just type "make"). This takes a few minutes. Compilation successful.
- Went back to libofx and ran ./configure again again. OpenSP includes still not found. Hmm. Run OpenSP "make install", maybe?
- Went back to OpenSP. Ran make install. Errors... oh yeah, have to do installation as root. Ran make install again. Apparent success.
- Back to libofx. Exited root prompt and ran ./configure again. Seems to have been successful.
- Oh, wait, somehow I ended up still in OpenSP. Went back into libofx (this time for real) and ran ./configure.
- Apparent success. Ok, now go into root and run make install on libofx...
- Apparent success. Now back to kmymoney ./configure...
- kmymoney still says libofx headers are missing. Give up for now, as I have pressing things to do.
