That looked fine, but I did notice:
2 /usr/local root# ll libexec
drwxrwx---   2 root     root         4096 Oct  9 20:26 libexec/

I fixed that and gnucash-1.5.2 made with NO ERRORS!
make install ran OK, but I couldn't actually run /opt/bin/gnucash

All of the subdirectories created by the install have no 'other' privileges.
I did:  'chmod -R o+rX' on the appropriate directories and gnucash-1.5.2 came
up!

I really should have checked for this, as this is a pretty common problem with
tarball install scripts, not just gnucash related tarballs.  I've been
installing mostly RPMs lately, and this bug didn't occur to me.

Doh! Ok, did g-wrap correctly configure the location of g-wrap-guile?
It is configured around line 51 of the g-wrap program.
 

That looked fine, but I did notice:
2 /usr/local root# ll libexec
drwxrwx---   2 root     root         4096 Oct  9 20:26 libexec/

I fixed that and gnucash-1.5.2 made with NO ERRORS!
make install ran OK, but I couldn't actually run /opt/bin/gnucash

All of the subdirectories created by the install have no 'other' privileges.
I did:  'chmod -R o+rX' on the appropriate directories and gnucash-1.5.2 came up!

No, there is just the g-wrap package.
