Problems running GnuCash 1.9.0 on kubuntu 5.10

[Aaron Larson]

I did something close.

 make distclean
./configure --prefix=/tmp/gnucash
make
make install

Same result.  If the --prefix is the likely problem, I'll have to
rebuild my test machine with kubuntu 5.10 (its currently running
a kubunto drapper release candiate) before I can try again.
