Well, then something is messed up with either ld.conf or LD_LIBRARY_PATH, because the linker isn't finding it. Looks like you have other issues as well. I notice that it's pulling GLib from a self-built location. I suggest that you back out of your experimental environment and build Gnucash against the distro-installed dependencies and make sure you can build it successfully there. Then you can dig into your experimental environment (I sure hope you've kept it isolated from your distro one; otherwise you've a lot of cleanup work ahead of you) to figure out what you've messed up.

Incidentally, I don't know how you're handling the experimental environment, but I *very strongly* recommend that you use jhbuild to create it, and that you use it in a jhbuild shell. You can use my gtk-osx gnucash modulesets (at https://github.com/jralls/gnucash-on-osx) as a starting point to create your own; you'll need to modify some of the dependency package names to match the jhbuild modulesets, not all of gtk-osx's do. Be sure to remove the <include> directive, you don't want to build gtk-osx! Also note that if you want an experimental GLib you are committed to building your own version of *every single dependency* that depends on GLib -- which is just about everything except AQBanking and the database backends. That may well be the root of your problem.
