Hmm...  Ok...

Basically, Gnucash 1.8 _requires_ shared library objects.  So, this is
certainly a major part of the problem.  You'll need to figure out
_why_ the shared library wasn't built.

This is completely normal.  Gnucash-1.8 cannot be compiled statically.
If you --disable-shared then it is 100% guaranteed to fail.  The real
question is why it's not building proper shared libraries.  I suspect
it could be a libtool problem, or it could be a configure problem.  I
don't know which offhand.

However, you will have to solve that problem.  Until you solve that
problem, all other issues are irrelevant.  Once you figure out _why_
it's not building shared libraries, then we can move on to actually
fixing the code.

No worries.  We can keep you in the CC.  Just be sure to CC the list
on your replies.
