This error implies you have some Libtool Archive (.la) installed that
references the libXcursor libtool archive, but you don't have the
libXcursor libtool archive installed...   Unfortunately this is most
likely a packaging problem.  I recommend you just remove all installed
libtool archive files.  But first, find out which ones you have:

    find /usr -name \*.la

or maybe figure out which ones refence libXcursor:

    file /usr -name \*.la | xargs grep libXcursor.la

If you do decide to remove the offending libtool archives, you will
need to "make clean" and rebuild gnucash.
