Who said I was running Fedora?  Also, who said I had an older libofx
RPM installed?  Besides, the test shouldn't fail in this way with an
older version of libofx -- the "test: version:: integer expression
expected" shouldn't happen with libofx 0.6.x

Irrelevant in my case.

Why do you think I need these?  These are for HBCI, and I don't need
them to build gnucash.

Also irrelevant.
