Please remember to reply to the list; use either "reply all" or, if your mail client provides it, "reply list".

Most likely you either forgot to pass --enable-dbi to configure or Gnucash can't find your libdbd-sqlite3.so. Setting GNC_DBD_DIR might be helpful in the latter case, or you can rebuild and pass --with-dbi-dbd-dir=/path/to/libdbd-directory to configure.
