I found LedgerSMB after my search for an Open Source accounting package. But truthfully, I am completely puzzled by the installation process of LedgerSMB. I've searched and searched only find instructions that were line after line of command line instructions (none of which were familiar). However, in defense of what I found, they were written back in Nov 2007.
Here are just a couple of the examples that I found:

Has any done any streamlining of the install process. From the little I've seen of this product in action (at the SMBLedger site) I think it is very polished, but I can't believe that many SMB's are capable of this install.
Here's to praying that someone tells me I'm wrong and that I've missed something.
Cheers!

There are a couple ways that this can be streamlined. The first is that we do have .deb packages available via alioth, and we offer .rpm's as well for Fedora, CentOS, and RHEL. The second is that on any platform you can user Module::Install to automate installing all the required Perl Modules.
Long-run I would like to see a .msi that would install everything needed on Windows. I haven't had time (or access to a Windows box sufficient) to do this however.
