Not a problem.

You shouldn't need anything else. I'm running Ruby 1.8.6 (2010-08-16 patchlevel 302) [x86_64-linux], it claims. Any reason you know of that would make a problem? I'm already guessing that 2.6.2 config may be a problem. How hard is it to upgrade to 3.0? (configure, make, make install? I guess I should read the manual :-) ). I presume 3.0 will read 2.6 ledger files just fine? >> - Install ledger_web using gem as root? as me? >> - Create the ledger database as me, postgres, root, ...? >> - Run ledger_web as me, postgres, root, ...? >> - Possible interactions with NoScript and ABE and their proper configuration > > Installing everything as root shouldn't hurt anything.

I created the database as postgres; it's been a long time since I remember using that DBMS. I'll delete it and try again. > javascript but the table sorting depends on it.

This seems to be a great enhancement. Thanks for the quick answers, Pete.
