There are some tricky things building gnucash right now because a lot of machines carry gcc 4.x but gwrap 1.3(?). Do an apt-get build-dep gnucash to get the 1.8.12 dependencies. Also apt-get install and then remove gnucash (unless you want to use 1.8.12 which is current stable) to get a lot of the run-time dependencies. then dpkg -l | grep guile and grep gwrap (g-wrap?). purge anything that is not 1.9x and install the 1.9x versions. then have fun building. I have successfully make distcheck'ed rev 13088 and built the resultant tarball. I'm doing this fairly regularly if you want I can send you a tarball next time I do it up. I'd be happy to make binaries if I knew how... The gnucash team is getting ready to put out 1.9.0 alpha pre-release for 2.0, so watch for that.
