The only reference in Guppi.spec:
BuildRoot: %{tmpdir}/%{name}-%{version}-root-%(id -u -n)

I found another reference in /var/tmp/rmp-tmp.10572:
RPM_BUILD_ROOT="/%{tmpdir}/Guppi-0.35.5-root-root"

Then, I did a find from root:
cd /
find . -xdev -name "*root-root*" -print
/%{tmpdir}/Guppi-0.35.5-root-root/
/%{tmpdir}/Guppi-0.35.5-root-root%{_aclocaldir}/
/%{tmpdir}/Guppi-0.35.5-root-root%{_applnkdir}/

The "%", "{", and "}" are actually part of the directory name!  I guess
nonexistant variables are replaced by their name!

rm -Rf /home/Usr/src/RPM/BUILD/Guppi-0.35.5/
rm -Rf /%{tmpdir}/*
rpm -bb Guppi.spec >& guppi.build.txt

This ran the same as before.

Oddly, I can compile GnuCash 1.5.6 without guppi, and I do get a manual
that seems OK.  This is in spite of the fact that I get similar jade
errors as when compiling Guppi:
...
