Paul,

I ran into the same problem with g-wrap-1.1.9 on my Mandrake 8.0 system
as you did.  I got g-wrap-1.1.9 to rebuild from the .src.rpm by doing
the following:

1.  install the .src.rpm:

        rpm -i g-wrap-1.1.9-1.src.rpm

2.  Edit the .spec file /usr/src/RPM/SPECS/g-wrap.spec:

      %prep
      %setup -q
add>  (cd /usr/src/RPM/BUILD/g-wrap-1.1.9/test ; \
add>       sed -e 's/-Werror//g' < Makefile.am > Makefile.am)

	The two added lines modify the Makefile.am to turn off -Werror
	before the 'configure' step that happens at the beginning of
	the %build phase.

3.  Build the regular and development packages:

    cd /usr/src/RPM
	rpm -ba SPECS/g-wrap.spec

4.  Install the packages

	rpm -Uvh RPMS/<arch>/g-wrap/*

	where <arch> will depend on your machine, for me its i686.

With that done, if you have Guppi, the build of gnucash should succeed
just fine.  It took *lots* of trips through rpm for me to get Guppi to
build.  

I finally got gnucash 1.6.0 to build last night, I'll try it out tonight
(after I back up my data files really well ;-)
