Where did it fail? I see some possible places, but do not want to guess
wildly :)

Thanks for the hint! r15058 uses that URL.

Again, what do you mean by "failed"? Here I cannot imagine a reason.

You might try to use gtk 2.10.6, maybe(!) that helps. Here is something
that would definitely rock: You install gdb and run gnucash with
--g-fatal-warnings within gdb (e.g. by substituting "start gnucash-bin"
by "start gdb gnucash-bin") and show us a nice b/stack trace. Do not
worry if you are used to nicer bt's BTW ;-)

Good luck!

PS: I plan to do quite some version bumps, but am pretty frustrated
right now because of the Guile1.8 <-> SLIB interplay. I will commit as
soon as I as my build succeeds, whenever that will be.
