Sorry for the improper reply, I'm still learning about mailinglist.

Thanks for your help.
I down loaded the RPM for g-wrap-devel-1.3.4-1 and that got me over the 
problem I was having. I used that as a clue and got over the missing 
g-wrap-config and libghttp-devel problems that happened next.


The problem I'm having now is in the make.

I dont know what libqthreads.la is or where it comes from.

Just so that folks know what my environment is:
I started with redhat 8.0 and I'm tring to compile gnucash 1.8.8
  I just finished installing the RPM for gnucash 1.8.5 and it went great.

Thanks for your help
