Hello gnucash-user -
I am attempting to compile and install GNUCash 2.0.5 on an i686 running CentOS 5.  I managed to get though ./configure but have run into a make problem which I am not sure how to solve.
=============================
[root at netvista gnucash-2.0.5]# make check
./make-gnucash-potfiles > ./po/POTFILES.in
make  check-recursive
make[1]: Entering directory `/usr/src/gnucash-2.0.5'

===========================================

I don't know that it is relevant to this make problem, but just in case ... ./configure did generate the following message toward the end:
============
config.status: WARNING:  gnucash-config.in seems to ignore the --datarootdir setting
============
I didn't notice anything else unusual during ./configure.

Any good suggestions appreciated ... thanks!
