gnucash 1.8.0 compile problems

[Theo. Sean Schulze]

Hello,

I have been struggling for a couple of weeks now to compile gnucash from source.  I started with 1.7.8, but when 1.8.0 was released, I switched over to that.  I am running a SuSE 8.0 system with KDE installed.  I did not have gnome installed, but since I ran into so many gnome-related dependancy problems, I decided to go to Ximian and install gnome from there.  Did a "Normal Installation" with the development libraries.  Worked great.

Back into my gnucash-1.8.0 source directory, I fired up ./configure --enable-ofx --enable-hbci --with-perl=/usr/bin/perl --enable-gui.  Configure could not locate gtkhtml-1.1.pc, so I added /opt/gnome/lib/pkgconfig to PKG_CONFIG_PATH.

Hit configure again.  Seems to run ok, but part of the way through I see something about "gtkhtml unknown".  Anyway, it builds the Makefiles, and I do a `make`.  Shortly thereafter, I receive this error message:

Any idea how to fix this?
