Compilation problems of gnucash-1.5.0

[Marc Evans]

Hello -

I am trying to build gnucash from source on one of my home systems and am
encountering the following:

Making all in guile
make[3]: Entering directory `/home/src/gnucash/gnucash-1.5.0/src/guile'
FLAVOR=gnome g-wrap --api c --target guile gnc.gwp

executable executable ...):
/usr/local/bin/g-wrap:58:9: No such file or directory
make[3]: *** [gnc.c] Error 2

The system is described by uname as:

# uname -a
Linux fubar 2.2.12-42 #3 Sun Dec 12 13:05:26 EST 1999 sparc unknown

The software installed includes:

Before I dive in too far and try to learn what guile is and how it works,
does anyone have an obvious suggestion?

Thanks in advance - Marc
