So... there I am, trying to compile 1.9.  I figured I would take the chance,
since the next RPM package for Fedora would most likely be 2.0 and would
update then.  First step is to run ./configure, where I get:

	checking for ltdl.h... no
	configure: error: Cannot find ltdl.h -- libtool-devel not installed?

Interesting thing is:
	[root at dauphin gnucash-1.9.0]# rpm -q libtool
	libtool-1.5.16.multilib2-3
	[root at dauphin gnucash-1.9.0]# locate ltdl.h
	/usr/share/libtool/libltdl/ltdl.h
	/usr/include/lam_ltdl.h

There doesn't appear to be a libtool-devel package for Fedora, but the
header file does exist anyway (all references I see via Google suggest that
the libtool package should give me what I need).  I tried looking through
the ./configure command-line options, but wasn't able to determine which one
(if any) would be useful for pointing to my libtool installation (I found
that PREFIX and LIB won't do it).  I also added the directory to
LD_LIBRARY_PATH just in case, but that didn't help.  Any thoughts?

[NOTE: I know that this is unstable, but am willing to test with what I've
got.  I'm not a programmer, though, so I don't know how useful my input will
be.]

Thanks in advance,
