Look on the lines near that and I suspect you'll find an autoconf
macro that wasn't expanded.

I managed to successfully configure, but not compile svn trunk version
the other day.  Each time I saw that error the solution was to install
another -dev package.  I figured out which ones by reading the macro
and seeing what library it was looking for.


On a related note, consider including this patch:

As it turns out, debian has both libgtkhtml2 and libgtkhtml3 and the
description implies that '2' is the version used by gnome.  THis patch
is simply to indicate in the error message that gnucash 1.9 needs '3'.
