That's not surprising -- GnuCash 1.8 was never ported to 64-bit platforms...

Sorry, don't know what to tell you...

Honestly, I don't know.  But I don't think 1.8 will build on 64-bit 
platforms. I know a bunch of changes have gone into CVS to get gnucash 
working on 64-bit
platforms, but I'm fairly certain those didn't go into 1.8...   So it's quite
likely you're working on a futile effort in any event.
