Yes, that is a much better path. (The goffice-0.10 library caused a lot 
of warnings and errors - deprecated styles, etc.)

I removed the existing goffice

   $ sudo yum remove goffice

And then installed the older version of goffice. There is a slight 
change in the package naming.

   $ sudo yum install goffice08
   $ sudo yum install goffice08-devel

Starting with a virgin copy of the gnucash 2.6.0 source, there were no 
problems with configure, make, or make install.

The result is:

[user1 at hoho6 gnucash-2.6.0]$ gnucash --version
GnuCash 2.6.0
This copy was built from rev 38a0d33+ on 2014-01-19.
[user1 at hoho6 gnucash-2.6.0]$

Thanks much.
