Not an easy task at this stage of the game. :-)

That's my setup too.

Did you by chance install the libguile4-dev package _after_ you ran
./configure? That would explain ./configure not finding the library
in its tests.
The bug is that ./configure should fail if it can't find qthreads
instead of being silent about it. In fact, there are a bunch of cases
where configure should fail instead of be silent about a certain
compile or link time problem. Gnucash requires a lot of support
packages and it is best to insist upon thier installation at configure
time. To do use autoconf properly, I think the "make gnome" -vs-
"make motif" options should be turned into ./configure time options.
(perhaps I've stumbled across a way to contribute to GnuCash!)
