gnucash2 and opt style install

Hi,

Yes...

I would recommend /opt/gnucash-svn instead of /opt

Well, this is testing two different things...  opt-style and DESTDIR.
It's quite possible that the problem is the DESTDIR installation...

Hmm, I've not seen this problem here on my FC3 box..  I configure
  with options "'--enable-error-on-warning' '--enable-compile-warnings'
'--prefix=/opt/gnucash-svn' '--enable-opt-style-install' '--enable-ofx'
'--enable-debug' '--enable-hbci'"

However, I've not tested with a DESTDIR installation.  Can you try
a regular install first and see if it works?  It's also possible that
you're hitting the old LIBRARY_PATH DESTDIR issue, where libtool is trying
to relink at install time and can't find the dependent libraries...  However
the error above does not support this theory.

So, first test a non-DESTDIR make install (after you clean out and reconfigure
to prefix /opt/gnucash-svn) and see if that works...
