And Derek, sorry about the private mails. I started to wonder where my 
postings to the list was. Im used to the fedora list, and on that one i 
only use the reply button.

The full command line wich i use is:
[tortho at inspiron gnucash]$ ./autogen.sh --enable-debug 
--prefix=/opt/gnucash-1.8

I then also tryed with the --enable-opt-style-install as weell with the 
same output.

The full output wich i get is:


[tortho at inspiron gnucash]$ ./autogen.sh --enable-debug --enable-ofx 
--prefix=/opt/gnucash-1.8 --enable-opt-style-install
processing .
deletefiles is  macros/gnome-gettext.m4
