g-wrap-config fails on 1.8 install

[rex]

I downloaded g-wrap 1.34 and did ./configure ; make ; make install without
apparent error.  A new g-wrap-config exists in /usr/local/bin

Running Gnucash ./configure yields:

[...]
checking whether guile works... yes
checking for guile... /usr/bin/guile
checking for guile - 1.3.4 <= version < 99.99.99... yes
checking for g-wrap-config... no
configure: warning: g-wrap-config failed
configure: error:

  g-wrap does not appear to be installed correctly, or is not new
  enough.  Right now gnucash requires at least version 1.3.3 to build
  as there were major changes between version 1.3.1 and 1.3.2, and
  extra support added between 1.3.2 and 1.3.3 that is now required
  by gnucash.

This is on a SuSE 8.0 system running KDE with the Gnome development
libraries installed.

I didn't see anything in the list archives about this problem. Any help
would be much appreciated.

TIA,
