My gnomeConf.sh is in /usr/lib

I suggest running "locate gnomeConf.sh" to make sure you have the file, and to confirm it's location. If it is in /usr/lib then i suggest running "./configure --with-gnome-libs=/usr/lib"

This is from the configure file:
Code:
if test x$exec_prefix = xNONE; then
                if test x$prefix = xNONE; then
                    gnome_prefix=$ac_default_prefix/lib
                else
                    gnome_prefix=$prefix/lib
                fi
            else
                gnome_prefix=`eval echo \`echo $libdir\``
            fi

            if test "$no_gnome_config" = "yes"; then
              echo $ac_n "checking for gnomeConf.sh file in $gnome_prefix""... $ac_c" 1>&6
echo "configure:13230: checking for gnomeConf.sh file in $gnome_prefix" >&5
              if test -f $gnome_prefix/gnomeConf.sh; then
                echo "$ac_t""found" 1>&6
                echo "loading gnome configuration from" \
                     "$gnome_prefix/gnomeConf.sh"
                . $gnome_prefix/gnomeConf.sh

              else
                echo "$ac_t""not found" 1>&6
                if test xfail = xfail; then
                  { echo "configure: error: Could not find the gnomeConf.sh file that is generated by gnome-libs install" 1>&2; exit 1; }
So you see, running the defaults makes the prefix /usr/local/ and this doesn't appear to be where your gnome installation is.

Is there a reason you cannot use a prebuilt package for gnucash?

A rpm version would work just fine , but I prefer to compile it myself
Thankyou for the assistance.
