I downloaded the source for gnucash about an hour ago.

I'm running ./configure and this is the end of the output - showing problem:
..

If I search for libgoffice, it looks like I have both libgoffice-0.8 and 
libgoffice-0.10

My system is Fedora19

I have gnucash 2.4, which is the latest available through the yum 
install gnucash distribution. I was hoping to be able to use the latest 
and greatest 2.6 series.
