You'll have to search the package lists for your distribution - certainly on 
Debian libgnome-dev contains /usr/bin/gnome-config so it could be a packaging 
error. 

Note that gnome-config and libgnome-dev are part of Gnome1.4 : libgnome-dev 
(1.4.2-19)

GnuCash1.8 is the only application in Debian to require Gnome1.4 so could it 
be that your distro has already decided to dump Gnome1.4?

What is the version number of your libgnome-devel on that platform? 1.4.xxx or 
2.xxx ?

You may be better off trying to build the Gnome2 port on your platform:
cvs -d :pserver:cvs at cvs.gnucash.org:/home/cvs/cvsroot checkout -r \  
 gnucash-gnome2-dev gnucash
