Ugh. You will *also* need to copy 
/home/your-home-dir/qof/lib/libsql  to
/home/your-home-dir/gnucash/lib/libsql  

and change /home/your-home-dir/gnucash/lib/Makefile.am so that
it visits /home/your-home-dir/gnucash/lib/libsql.  You will also
need to modify /home/your-home-dir/gnucash/configure.in so that
it builds the Makefile in that dir

I'm thinking that these are from glib-2 whereas gnucash still pulls
in glib-1.2 at this time.  Note that glib2 is 99.5% compatible
with glib-1.2, so changing over to glib2 shouldn't really be a problem.

However, I tried this once and I do remember that gtk-1.2 has a weird
compatiblity problem with glib2.  The fix is a bizarro 3-line hack,
but I don't remember what it is.  I think I had to undef something in
gtk.  If you post to the mailing list, I might be able to remember.
