Neil,

Thanks for the suggestion but it was library related. It is working now.
The reputation gnucash has as a tough install is hogwash. I only had to
install 5 packages and upgrade 4 others.  Seems to be worth it though.

Apparently something wasn't right with bonobo and/or guppi or their
dependencies.  Was trying to use bonobo-1.0.4 but guppi-0.40.3 wants at
least 1.0.8.  So I tried 1.0.20. To get it compiled I had to update
orbit to 0.5.15, oaf to 0.6.10 and libxml to 1.8.17.  guppi also needed
gdk-pixbuf-config of 0.11.0.  I don't know how guppi ever compiled in
the first place.

I remember having trouble with bonobo before, when I tried sodipodi.
Ended up disabling it on the configure to get it to compile.
