Mark,

   The SlackBuild scripts I use, and those I write, don't use that path, but
that's minor.

   The tarball source configures and builds part of the way. The issues seem
to be within the Freerock Gnome packages available in -current. It's not a
Gnucash issue at all any longer. I upgraded Gnome to the most current
packages they have (and slapt-get does handle dependencies nicely), so I
posted the /tmp/gnucash.trace file on the GSB mail list.

   I very much appreciate your help and that of the other developers here.
I'm closing in on getting gnucash to build and make. Then I'll just get back
to using it and spending the time on my business rather than this.
