Your solution was correct. Some -devel package of opensuse seems to rely on a file libpopt.la to exist. Somehow the opensuse packagers forgot to create a package that installs that file. But .la files are really doing only very little; copying like what you did is one possible solution, although it could have gone wrong as well. As an eventual solution, opensuse should provide a package that contains libpopt.la; on opensuse 10.2 there was popt-devel, but in the new version this might be called differently. > 2 -- The above allowed make to continue compiling... for a while. > Next error, on which I'm currently stuck, is: > > cc1: warnings being treated as errors > engine-helpers.c: In function 'gnc_generic_to_scm': > engine-helpers.c:2161: warning: passing argument 1 of > 'SWIG_Guile_NewPointerObj' discards qualifiers from pointer target type As josh already explained: That's a warning that is introduced by the newest gcc and/or newest swig packages and we currently don't have an easy way to fix it. Please use --disable-error-on-warning.
