developer report

Note, for HBCI stuff you're probably best off asking on gnucash-de,
because it only affects you germans and the rest of us really don't
care much about it... ;)

Uhh, do you have the -devel packages installed?  I bet you do not!  Those
packages should have the ".so" link for you, as well as the necessary headers.
If SuSE doesn't ship a -devel package with a .so symlink then you should
file a bug report with SuSE.

This just means you should have /opt/gnome/bin and /usr/local/bin in your
PATH.  Much easier than symlinking.

This is normal the first time.  I don't know why.

Check your config.log to see what failed.

That's because it's a dependency of a dependency..  It's not something
that _gnucash_ uses directly, so we don't consider it a dependency.
Complain to SuSE (or the GNOME folks) about stupidities like this.

Next major release, I would presume.

Do you have the glade development package installed?
