[Kmymoney] Re: Importing OFX puts transactions a day behind

[Felipe Castillo]

Sorry for this so late response but I've been really busy. Well, after
some playing around, I found out that the problem importing the OFX file
is related to daylight saving time and not the other kind where 5 hours
were subtracted.
Now that I know what the problem is, how can I fix it? I'm not an
expert, and my programming skills are basic, so I'm hoping that my
Ubuntu installation has an old version of libOFX and there's a new one
somewhere, with this bug fixed, that I can only compile and install
(preferible just install :))
