Install problem 1.7.6 - Unk Library

[John Reynolds]

Here's the setup:
suse 8.1 running gnucash 1.6.6
thought I try installing 1.7.6 from source, since no .rpm existed for 8.1
installed g-wrap 1.3.4 form source, seemed like a clean install.
had all the other dependancies covered, I thought ;-)
./configure the 1.7.6 , got a few different complains, worked through
them (installed devel libs and such).
but now I've got a complaint I can't get through, see below. sorry to
copy it all in but I wan't sure how much you all would want to read.
