Thanks Thomas and Jack. 

I am a little confused/in shock now. :) It sounds like I do not need to
use AQBanking? I believe I need it since I use it to allow me to update
my accounts (download) transactions. Are you saying there is another
way to set up a connection to the banks/Credit Card companies server to
download transactions? 

I know I can manually download an OFX(qfx) file and then import it into
KMyMoney but I really like the ability to right click and say 'update
account'. I have always thought I needed AqBanking for that.

Anyways, I am hitting some other compile issue now with missing
package. I will fix this first before I can test.

Also, thanks Thomas, you answered a question I was not sure I asked
yet. Whether the expectation is for us to download the AqBanking and
Gwenhywfar software and compile it ourselves or if we are expecting the
distribution to already include the latest and greatest.

Thank to both of you for your patience. I will update soon once I get
this up and running again.
