Hi,
I am having basic difficulty working with my Knoppix--primarily installing an accounting program. Unfortunately I cannot get Gnucash to open.
I can't get the Synaptic Package Manager to fix a broken package or solve the unmet dependency error when i try to get Gnucash. I kept on getting error in that I needed libc6 and libc6-dev which were not goping to be installed. I saw another post here where the fellow installed all the dependent files somehow. I doubt think I'm that able. When i attempt <sudo apt-get install gnucash> terminal tells me some others need to be done too so try "install -f". Then I get libc6 missingn again.
Next i downloaded a new Gnucash 2.6.2 from SourceForge as a .tar i hope I extracted it correctly with <tar -xvf archivename.tar.bz2> Now I get gnucash-2.6.2 listed when I list directories using <ls -l> I'll try to attach a screenshot.

Doesn't this mean gnucash is in the directory "knoppix" or knoppix/knoppix? At the terminal there is "knoppix@microknoppix"--qu'est-ce que c'est?? I'm misunderstanding something fundamental I suspect. I try to <sudo apt-get install gnucash-2.6.2> and I see unable to locatepackage.
knoppix@Microknoppix:~$ sudo apt-get install gnucash-2.6.2
Reading package lists... Done

E: Unable to locate package gnucash-2.6.2
E: Couldn't find any package by regex 'gnucash-2.6.2'
Now I admit I know little about any of this; I can barely turn the machine off. Do I need to specify the directory or something else? I appreciate the help.
