Please remember to copy the list on all replies.

It's not reporting a dependency failure, at least not here. libgncmod-report-gnome.so is a build product. When building with autotools it should be in your build directory in src/report/report-gnome/.libs; there should be a companion file src/report/report-gnome/libgncmod-report-gnome.la.

If it's there then there's a problem with the paths being passed to guile for compiling whatever is failing. If it's not then that's the problem, so find that failure in the output.
