Hello Jack

Simply because slackware is still on KDE4. 

You say 4.8.5 requires libalkimia <6.0.0 and I have 5.0.0 which should be ok shouldn't it? Anyway, in the meantime I have managed to build libalkimia 8.0.1. This has enabled me to build KMyMoney HEAD from git. I am now trying it out but first impressions are not good. More about that later maybe.

Thanks
