Hi again, and thanks again.
I have these:
automake-1.6.3-1
gettext-0.11.2-8mdk
libtool-1.4.2-9mdk

I will see if there are updated versions of these and try again.
By the way, i just did get a fresh checkout of gnucash from CVS, just to tr=
y=20
it again, same result.
Thanks for your time and patience,
 Mike
