Newbie to the forums. Why is the version in Ubuntu software center so far out of date? Noticed that it's not even available in LinuxMint software center any longer? Tried to upgrade from 4.6.4 manually and it crashes when it tries to start. Any help moving to latest version on Linux will be great, thanks.

What do you mean by manually upgrade? Compiled from source, or grabbing packages from somewhere?

If you poke around the forum here, you'll find out how and where to go, which is here

Odd that Mint does not have it available at all since they use so much of Ubuntu's software, unless they disable Ubuntu's Universe repo, where Kmymoney is found.

thanks for the response, i attempted to grab your ppa. kmymoney crashes on launch.

If you try running it from a terminal, what is the output when it crashes?

what would i type to run it from terminal?

Sorry!
Just type 'kmymoney' in the terminal window, without quotes

Not forwarding the crash to Apport.

running it from live cd of linux mint 17.2. but it crashes on full install as well.

Hmm I'll assume you are not running in a KDE environment.
Try installing the package kdelibs5-data, you probably are missing some key kde bit that Mint is missing.

I've not seen anyone in a Unity or other desktop report a crash, so I can't say why.

that actually seemed to help. at least it started up, looking normal, instead of crashing! thanks for the help!
