Problem Building on Fedora 3 for x86_64

[David V Herman]

I am a relative new comer to both Linux and Gnucash so this may be a
really dumb question - however ... I am attempting to build gnucash
1.8.10 on Fedora 3 (all updates) for x86_64.

I appear to have completed the "dependency maze" - "configure"
completes.  When I MAKE I receive the following. Libfoo is in Libtools
is it not?

Config command was ./configure --prefix=/usr

Any suggestions? 

log follows
