Yep, I didn't have libstdc++-devel installed.  This does not really surprise
me much.  When I installed Mandrake 7.0 last year, the standard install,
installed only the compiler, but not any of the supporting c nor c++
libraries etc.  I initially could not compile a simple c program that had
"include <stdio.h>"!  A bug on the Mandrake 7.0 install.

I have successfully compiled db3 and python, it's getting late, tomorrow,
I'll try gnucash again.

The only instabilities I've noticed, have to do with compiling gnucash and
it's dependencies, otherwise, my system runs great!
