Well that's not quite true, I remember having this discussion already on the mailing list, it's perfectly possible to run a version of KMyMoney built and installed in a regular user's directory. I use the attached script to launch the KMyMoney built and installed as a regular user with the install dir set in cmake (/home/cristi/dezvoltare/kmymoney-install). Using this approach one can have multiple versions of the application. I have a user version (installed on the system) and a development version, started using this script or with the proper environment set in a KDevelop launch. #!/bin/bash export KDEDIR=/home/cristi/dezvoltare/kmymoney-install export KDEDIRS=$KDEDIR export PATH=$KDEDIR/bin:$PATH export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$KDEDIR/lib:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH export QT_PLUGIN_PATH=$KDEDIR/lib/kde4/plugins:$QT_PLUGIN_PATH /home/cristi/dezvoltare/kmymoney-install/bin/kmymoney -n --config kmymoneydevelopmentrc --caption "KMyMoney Development Version" --lang=C Regards, Cristian > Jack > > _______________________________________________ > KMyMoney-devel mailing list > KMyMoney-devel@kde.org > https://mail.kde.org/mailman/listinfo/kmymoney-devel
