Description: KHacc is a sister project to QHacc--the Q Home Accountant--but with KDE-specific integration. It features double- or single-entry bookkeeping and a reconciliation window. It also provides support for memorized and split transactions, graphing, reporting, archiving, and scheduled transactions that can be based on the account balance. KHacc requires QHacc.Last changelog:
VERSION 3.3 * added initial support market transactions * added support for void transactions * added per-transaction handling of taxable status * added reconcile window option to show tranactions from all journals * improved transeditor's handling of updated accounts * fixed titlebar bug when changing dataset name
I downloaded and unpacked khacc-3.2.1.tar.gz. When I run ./configure, it goes through a long series of successful checks, then gives me:
checking for qhacc-config...
Script not found! If you have installed QHacc in an
unusual place, please use the "--with-qhacc-config=" option
I can't find a qhacc-config file anywhere. What am I doing wrong?
KHacc requires the QHacc package to run. The QHacc package contains the financial engine that KHacc uses. If you install QHacc first, KHacc should install without a hitch.
If you get the make error "lselinux not found" try installing the liblselinux-devel package and you shouldn't have any problem.
This strange error has been reported for other programs on Fedora Core 2. It is all the more mystifying because all of the affected machines had lselinux disabled and none of the programs made use of the libraries either.
Just in case anyone else runs into it because this program is worth using!
Does khacc/qhacc support budgets?
1. Create a budget by month/week/year.
2. Compare activity for a period against budget for that period.
Can khacc/qhacc import my files from Quicken?
Reading the features list, I don't see those items, but maybe I missed them.
Thanks
It has some rudimentary monthly budgetting included: You can specify how much you'd like an account change per month, and when you pass that limit, you'll get a dialog box telling you so. There is also a report that shows you a budgeted/actual comparison for each account, and for all accounts that have a budget specified.
I'm afraid not. KHacc isn't really aimed a replacing commerical apps--it's just a transaction manager. The goal is to be simple and straight-forward enough for most users, so if you need some advanced features, it may not have them.
I should mention, however, that KHacc DOES support database plugins, so adding HBCI support is feasible using the openHBCI library. Currently, KHacc can use MySQL, PostgreSQL, SQLite, XML, or its native format as a backend.

Does it have HBCI support? Otherwise it would be pretty useless in comparison to commerical apps like Quicken.

HBCI-Support would be really nice....
