Summary:                    Date/Period cannot be set
Description: 
Sirs,
Cannot set the financial year. Any date combination selected from the calendar
is not accepted stating 'invalid date'.

Steps to Reproduce: 
After installation, when trying to set the period, we land into trouble.

Additional Information: 
1. This is the second time I am reporting this blocker. 
2. Earlier I was said that the date does not work with my locale : EN_IN
3. Locale cannot be changed just for this software.

The date format should be MM/DD/YY or MM/DD/YYYY. The date entered in the form
thursday 01 april 2010 is not recognized by grisbi.

Otherwise you can start grisbi with the command :

export LANG=en_US.UTF-8 && /usr/local/bin/grisbi

hi,

This bug should be corrected in the git version. To check you can compile the
development version that you find on git?

To compile grisbi:

First get the sources of grisbi. open a console and enter the following command:

git clone git://grisbi.git.sourceforge.net/gitroot/grisbi/grisbi [^] [^]

Then enter the commands below:

cd grisbi
./autogen.sh
./configure
make
sudo make install

/usr/local/bin/grisbi

before you must install git and the following libraries :

libglib2.0-dev, libgtk2.0-dev, gettext, intltool, libxml2-dev openssl-dev,
libofx-dev

Best regards
