Generally this implies that you upgraded part of guile but not all of
it, or you upgraded/downgraded guile without reconfiguring and
rebuilding BOTH g-wrap and gnucash.

Unfortunately I don't know much about Mandrake, but I know that Red
Hat had this problem between two different versions of guile, where
they added 'qthreads' to a later release.  At least on my RH system,
libqthreads is distributed as part of the guile (and guile-devel)
packages.

Make sure that you clear out your config.cache and rebuild g-wrap,
then clear your config.cache and rebuild gnucash.
