Hi All,
How do I help gnucash-1.8.4's "./configure" find "gal"? I did configure, 
make, and make install for "gal-1.99.7". I did ldconfig after, though I 
am not sure that it was relevant at all.

Tail of ./configure output on terminal -
<SNIP>
checking for GDK_PIXBUF - version >= 0.2.5... yes
checking for gnome-config... (cached) /usr/local/bin/gnome-config
checking for GNOME-PRINT - version >= 0.21... found 0.37
checking for libglade-config... no
checking for libglade... no
checking for main in -lgal... Unknown library `gal'
no
configure: error: gal library not found. See the README and config.log 
for more info.
bash-2.05b#


Relevant portion of config.log -
<SNIP>
configure:13133: checking for main in -lgal
configure:13148: gcc -o conftest -g -O2 -Wall -Wunused   
-I/opt/gnome/include  -L/opt/gnome/lib conftest.c -lgal  -lpopt -lm  -lm 
1>&5
/usr/lib/gcc-lib/i386-slackware-linux/3.2.2/../../../../i386-slackware-linux/bin/ld: 
cannot find -lgal
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
configure: failed program was:
#line 13141 "configure"
#include "confdefs.h"
</SNIP>


TIA
:)
