Do you have them and the build procedure cannot find them?
Or are they not there at all?

I have never built gnucash, though I run it all the time.
On my Red Hat Enterprise Linux system, running with a 4-core 64-bit Xeon
processor, they are here:

/usr/lib64/gnucash/libgnc-gnome.so
/usr/lib64/gnucash/libgnc-gnome.so.0
/usr/lib64/gnucash/libgnc-gnome.so.0.0.0

On a 32-bit machine, they would be in /usr/lib instead of /usr/lib64.
Thus (Trillian was my old 32-bit machine):

/D2P1/Trillian/usr/lib/gnucash/libgnc-gnome.so
/D2P1/Trillian/usr/lib/gnucash/libgnc-gnome.so.0
/D2P1/Trillian/usr/lib/gnucash/libgnc-gnome.so.0.0.0

Since Red Hat do not support GnuCash, I must have gotten that library
somewhere else. I see it came with

$ rpm -qf /usr/lib64/gnucash/libgnc-gnome.so
gnucash-2.4.15-4.el6.x86_64
