This got it working for me. Thanks. I have it built and running, but the gda
stuff crashes. Maybe Phil could give me a few pointers on how to make the
gda backend more talkative.

I get the following from gnucash.trace when I open an exiting empty gnc
file, choose save as, and enter the name test.db.

I've scattered some PWARN statements throughout gnc_gda_session_begin() in
the hopes to find out where I'm running into problems...compiling now.

I'm wondering if there's a better way to make it tell me more. Maybe
something like --log "gnc.backend=debug", but for the backend gda stuff?

Thanks,
Nathan
