Just installing the binary shouldn't require all those other
dependencies...  As I said, the only real dependency that gnucash-1.8
has beyond the deps of gnucash-1.6 is an upgraded g-wrap.  If the
pre-built 1.8 package pulls in a bunch of other deps, then I'd
recommend you pull down all the build-deps for gnucash-1.6, then 
upgrade g-wrap and gnucash from source".
