Hi, Arnaud,

I've been monitoring your progress on the gnucash mailing list.  I don't
subscribe to the list, but I wanted to get gnucash 1.6.0 installed on my
Mandrake 8.0 box, so I was reading about your progress.  I just wanted to
encourage you: it can be done!  I just finished the arduous process on a
pretty stock Mandrake 8.0 box.  After installing 2 dozen *devel*.rpm
packages off the cd's and downloading another dozen Cooker packages from
rpmfind.net, I was able to create a gnucash 1.6.0 rpm, install it, and start
it successfully.  It converted my old config file without any problems, and
I played with the new gui a bit, so I'm pretty convinced it's working
more-or-less as expected.  It's pretty sweet.

The following are the packages I had to install off the CD's:

db1-devel-1.85-4mdk.i586.rpm 
db2-devel-2.4.14-2mdk.i586.rpm 
db3-devel-3.1.17-1mdk.i586.rpm 
guile-devel-1.4-10mdk.i586.rpm 
libGConf1-devel-1.0.0-3mdk.i586.rpm 
libbonobo2-devel-1.0.2-1mdk.i586.rpm 
libgal4-devel-0.5-2mdk.i586.rpm 
libghttp1-devel-1.0.9-1mdk.i586.rpm 
libglade0-devel-0.16-3mdk.i586.rpm 
libgnomeprint15-devel-0.28-1mdk.i586.rpm 
libgr1-devel-2.0.13-22mdk.i586.rpm 
libgtkhtml7-devel-0.8.3-2mdk.i586.rpm 
libguppi11-devel-0.35.5-3mdk.i586.rpm 
libjpeg62-devel-6b-19mdk.i586.rpm 
liboaf0-devel-0.6.5-1mdk.i586.rpm 
libpng2-devel-1.0.9-1mdk.i586.rpm 
libtermcap2-devel-2.0.8-28mdk.i586.rpm 
libtiff3-devel-3.5.5-6mdk.i586.rpm 
libungif4-devel-4.1.0-12mdk.i586.rpm 
libunicode0-devel-0.4.gnome-1mdk.i586.rpm 
libxml-devel-1.8.11-1mdk.i586.rpm 
postgresql-devel-7.0.3-12mdk.i586.rpm 
pythonlib-1.23-2mdk.noarch.rpm 
zlib1-devel-1.1.3-15mdk.i586.rpm 

The following are the Cooker packages I downloaded and installed from
rpmfind.net:

Guppi-0.35.5-3mdk.i586.rpm
g-wrap-1.1.10-2mdk.i586.rpm
g-wrap-devel-1.1.10-2mdk.i586.rpm
gdk-pixbuf-devel-0.10.1-1.mdk.i586.rpm
libguppi11-0.35.5-3mdk.i586.rpm
libguppi11-devel-0.35.5-3mdk.i586.rpm
python-2.1-1mdk.i586.rpm
python-devel-2.1-1mdk.i586.rpm
python-docs-2.1-1mdk.i586.rpm
readline-4.2-2mdk.i586.rpm
readline-devel-4.2-2mdk.i586.rpm
tkinter-2.1-1mdk.i586.rpm

I'm not claiming that all of these are required to build it, but rather
these are what /I/ had to install in order to get it to build.  I may have
also neglected to mention a few RPM's I needed off the CD's.  But you should
be able to figure out what you need pretty easily from the configure output
and config.log.

If you'd like, I can email you the rpm I created.  It's >6 megs, though, so
it might take you less time to build it yourself.  Also, it's not signed or
anything, nor does it have the special 'mdk' extension, s

Good luck!  Email me personally if you have any questions about what I did.
I'll do my best to answer them, although it looks like you got most of them
answered pretty successfully from the mailing list.  I know just reading the
recent archives helped me immeasurably, especially the part about checking
config.log to see the many places where configuring gal failed... ;)

-Scott
