Compiling on Mandrake 8.2

[Michael T. Garrison Stuber]

Okay, I've found the problem, but I'm at a loss as to how to fix it.  This 
gets into deep dark arcane magic with libtool and make that I'm not really 
up on.  The final compile line that the make file generates (on my system) 
is:

gcc -g -O2 -Wall -Wunused -Wall -Wno-unused 
-Werror-implicit-function-declaration -I/usr/include/pgsql 
-I/usr/include/pgsql -I/usr/include/gtk-1.2 -I/usr/include/glib-1.2 
-I/usr/lib/glib/include -I/usr/X11R6/include -I/usr/include/gnome-1.0 
-DNEED_GNOMESUPPORT_H -I/usr/lib/gnome-libs/include 
-I/usr/include/orbit-1.0 -I/usr/include -o .libs/gnucash MultiLedger.o 
SplitLedger.o EuroUtils.o FileDialog.o gnc-component-manager.o 
gnc-exp-parser.o gnc-main.o gnc-ui-util.o messages.o -rdynamic -rdynamic

-lzvt -lutil /usr/lib/libbonobo-print.so 
/usr/lib/libg-wrap-runtime-guile.so /usr/lib/libguile.so

/usr/lib/libglib.so -ldl -lXi -lXext -lX11 /usr/lib/libghttp.so -ldb1 
/usr/lib/libpopt.so -lm

I think (but I'm not sure) that this is actually generated by libtool.  The 
problem is that it's missing a reference to gnome/libgncgnome that should 
be right after the series of -rdynamic statements.  If I manually add it 
and run the new line:

 gcc -g -O2 -Wall -Wunused -Wall -Wno-unused 
-Werror-implicit-function-declaration -I/usr/include/pgsql 
-I/usr/include/pgsql -I/usr/include/gtk-1.2 -I/usr/include/glib-1.2 
-I/usr/lib/glib/include -I/usr/X11R6/include -I/usr/include/gnome-1.0 
-DNEED_GNOMESUPPORT_H -I/usr/lib/gnome-libs/include 
-I/usr/include/orbit-1.0 -I/usr/include -o .libs/gnucash MultiLedger.o

/usr/lib/libgtkhtml.so /usr/lib/libbonobo.so /usr/lib/libbonobox.so 
/usr/lib/libgal.so /usr/lib/libgnomeprint.so /usr/lib/libfreetype.so 
/usr/lib/libglade-gnome.so /usr/lib/libglade.so /usr/lib/libxml.so -lz 
/usr/lib/libgdk_pixbuf.so /usr/lib/libgnomecanvaspixbuf.so -lgnomeui 
-lart_lgpl /usr/lib/libgdk_imlib.so -lSM -lICE -lgnome -lgnomesupport 
/usr/lib/libesd.so /usr/lib/libaudiofile.so /usr/lib/libgconf-gtk-1.so 
/usr/lib/libgconf-1.so /usr/lib/liboaf.so -lORBitCosNaming -lORBit -lIIOP

/usr/lib/libglib.so -ldl -lXi -lXext -lX11 /usr/lib/libghttp.so -ldb1 
/usr/lib/libpopt.so -lm

it happily links and compiles.

I've tried hacking the makefile, and I can't figure out what I need to do 
to make it stick the "gnome/libgncgnome" in.  If I stick in an arbitrary 
text string it makes it in there, and of course I get an error because the 
file doesn't exist.  If I stick in "gnome/libgncgnome" it seems to get 
eaten -- by libtool?  Any pointers would be appreciated.  At least things 
are compiling once again, albeit inconveniently.
