This implies you have the wrong version of g-wrap installed.  Are you
sure that you've ONLY got g-wrap-1.3 and **NOT** g-wrap-1.1 or
g-wrap-1.2?  You should be able to find RH8 RPMs at www.gnucash.org/pub/

If you installed the g-wrap RPMs from RH8, it will cause you problems.

What do you get from:
     ls -l /usr/lib/libqthreads*

Next, what do you get from:
      find /usr -name \*.la -print | xargs grep libqthreads.la

libqthreads is part of guile.  But you shouldn't have anything that
depends on the .la file.... unless you installed some stuff incorrectly.

Hmm....  You can probably get away with using the 1.8.5 RPM.
