Correct. Guile1.4 is just a hangover from previous builds but, importantly, it 
does not interfere with the G2 build - unlike the rest of the older guile 
related packages.

That'll do, but you should find that make distclean saves a lot of downloads.

--enable-maintainer-mode ?

You don't need to start again for that, just re-run configure with that option 
as well as your others.

Also, if you want to install in a non-privileged directory, specify a --prefix
--prefix=/opt/installed/gnucash
(that allows you to run make install without needing sudo or su)

Nice to see you're using external QOF support!!!

Ooh. That's not good. This should have been picked up in the configure. You 
appear to not have libgoffice installed. On Debian, you can install 
libgoffice-1-1 (v0.1.2-1) 

$ dpkg -l libgoffice-1-1
ii  libgoffice-1-1     0.1.2-1

*And it's -dev package:*
ii  libgoffice-1-dev   0.1.2-1 

Not sure why this wasn't picked up before.

Maybe not the -dev ?

Nasty - I don't think you needed to do that, sorry.
:-(

Hmm. I wouldn't worry about how you've ended up here again. I think your best 
option is to go back to libgoffice-1-1 with it's dev package.

Maybe you're missing libgsf:
 libgsf-1-113       1.13.3-1 

and it's dev package:
 libgsf-1-dev       1.13.3-1

Still can't see why configure didn't tell you the same.

You have had a hard time with all this, I think we should be glad you've got 
enough patience to get this far!

Try using a helpful bash script to do all the build commands using:

#!/bin/bash
./autogen.sh
result=$?
case "$result" in
        0)
        ./configure --options
# repeat with whichever commands you need in turn, make etc.
        ;;
        *)
        exit
        ;;
esac
for each command. That way, you are certain to catch all errors.
