David, Conrad

Thanks for the advice. I removed g-wrap 1.3.2 from /usr/lib and
installed it in /opt instead. Today's CVS compiled without a hitch!

I left the earlier g-wrap in /usr/lib, because I am in fact using
gnucash 1.6. Both 1.6 and 1.8 are humming along nicely, thanks to the
good advice of the people on this list.

Now back to bug-hunting!

Thanks gain,

John
