I don't see this subject covered in June May April of archives,
searching for g-wrap in subject so assuming its not a common problem.

I've downloaded both the latest unstable and stable tar balls.. both
exhibit the same problem.  

Running configure breaks on a g-wrap error:
 ./configure
  [...]
  checking for guile - 1.3.4 <= version < 99.99.99... yes
  checking for g-wrap-config... no
  configure: warning: g-wrap-config failed
  configure: error: 
 
    g-wrap does not appear to be installed correctly, or is not new
    enough.  Right now gnucash requires at least version 1.3.3 to
    build as there were major changes between version 1.3.1 and 1.3.2,
    and extra support added between 1.3.2 and 1.3.3 that is now
    required by gnucash.  If you need to install g-wrap, you can find
    it at http://www.gnucash.org/pub/g-wrap.
 
I have installed:

rpm -qa|grep g-wrap:
  g-wrap-1.3.4-5.1

Which should satisfy the requirement.  I'm thinking maybe its
installed somewhere gnucash doesn't expect.  But not sure how to tell
if that is the problem.  The libraries are installed under /usr/lib

Or maybe there are changes between g-wrap-1.3.3 and g-wrap-1.3.4 that
gnu cash doesn't know about:

rpm -ql g-wrap:
  /usr/lib/libgw-glib.la
  /usr/lib/libgw-glib.so.0
  /usr/lib/libgw-glib.so.0.0.0
  /usr/lib/libgw-standard.la
  /usr/lib/libgw-standard.so.0
  /usr/lib/libgw-standard.so.0.0.0
  /usr/lib/libgw-wct.la
  /usr/lib/libgw-wct.so.0
  /usr/lib/libgw-wct.so.0.0.0
  /usr/lib/libgwrap-glib.la
  /usr/lib/libgwrap-glib.so.1
  /usr/lib/libgwrap-glib.so.1.0.0
  /usr/lib/libgwrap-wct.la
  /usr/lib/libgwrap-wct.so.1
  /usr/lib/libgwrap-wct.so.1.0.0
  [...]

Can anyone here coach me with this?
