Thanks again for the help; just the simlink seems to work.  The *next*
inscrutable (for me) roadblock to g-wrap's configuring:

Again, sorry to tire all of you with a layperson's attempt--but it may
give you programmers some insight into what we ignorati are up against. 
Some 6-8 tricky package installations down the road, I'm at least more
than half-way toward actually running gnucash, right?!

Thanks again,
