Gnucash does not depend on -lqof, and indeed having -lqof installed on
your machine may screw up your gnucash build if it finds the wrong
version of header files.  Nor do I get this error when I build CVS
HEAD, so it's something you did yourself (or it's pulling in the wrong
QOF headers and getting confused).

These symbols are declared in src/engine/qofsql.h but that file is not
compiled in the gnucash build -- which leads me to believe you're
having the version-skew problem that I alluded to.  Try removing
libqof from your machine so gnucash doesn't find the wrong header
files.

Are you looking at QOF or Gnucash?  This is not the right place to ask
QOF questionbs.
