Yes, The current unstable series requires 1.3.2. I'm sorry a rpm wasn't
made available, this was due to historical reasons (we didnt want people
using the CVS version easily while we made major changes to the
functionality). I will upload to the GnuCash site the g-wrap 1.3.2 rpm
for people to use. Note however, this is due to change when g-wrap 1.3.3
is released. GnuCash will then require 1.3.3 and will not work with
1.3.2.

When g-wrap was released there wasn't a spec file apart from the one for
the stable series. This will be rectified in 1.3.3

Please use the one on the GnuCash site.

Yes as you suggest there is a known problem with libtool. The g-wrap
I'll upload tonight has the suggested workarounds for this problem and
should function with --rebuild as expected. I'd be interested to know if
anyone cannot get this to work so I can feed it back into the 1.3.3
release (but you'll need to be quick its expected very soon).
