I use a script, which does:
cvs update -C -r gnucash-1-8-branch
configure --prefix=/opt/gnucash-CVS --enable-maintainer-mode --enable-sql
make >make.log 2>&1
/usr/bin/sudo /usr/local/bin/checkinstall -R -y --pkgname=gnucash-CVS 
--pkgversion=1.8.$D --provides=gnucash-CVS

It fails at configure with this popt error:
<quote>
checking for poptStrippedArgv in -lpopt... no
configure: error:

   popt 1.5 or newer is required to build gnucash. You can download
   the latest version from ftp://people.redhat.com/sopwith/popt/, or if
   you're running Debian, install the libpopt-dev package.

Hmmm... my script doesn't do an autogen.sh, guess I should do that. I'll 
post back with the results (will probly be a few hours before I can get 
to it, though...)

Thaks,
