I've checked the configure options, and am unable to find anything
related to gtk. I've rebuilt it several times now, tweaking
configuration parameters, but am stuck... and I still can't understand
why the rpmbuild would fail with the same error.

I do see a fairly large number of warnings during the "make" and "make
install" steps similar to this one:

*** Warning: Linking the executable test-print-queries against the loadable module
*** libgncmodule.so is not portable!

Is this something to be concerned about? 

Thanks,
