Ian,

please see my pstings from Aug, 25 this year. I guess it will also work for you:

I stil cannot manage to get gnucash-1.6.8 compiled in a staight forward
manner. For gnucash-1.6.6 everything is fine. I do a './configure
--prefix=/opt/gnome --enable-sql' and it runs through fine. Also during
compilation no errors. For gnucash-1.6.8 and './configure
--prefix=/opt/gnome --enable-sql' the compilation stops with the error
mentioned above. To by-pass this, I did a ./configure
--prefix=/opt/gnome', then 'make' and the compilation ended successful.
Then, I created new Makefiles by ./configure --prefix=/opt/gnome
--enable-sql' and compiled again. As 'libgncengine.la' is now present,
the compilation is successful and it seems, gnucash-1.6.8 seems to work.


Cheers,
Klaus
