This patch fixes the last bits of conflict between Jeremy and my
latest big patches. I was made against CVS as of half an hour ago.
Linas, you can ignore the modifications to the configure stuff that
automake did, but it won't hurt and might help. Also, I noticed you
didn't check in the g-wrap

Please remember that people with other unix based OS's are trying to get
this darn program to compile as well. If you could include some
instructions on how to install slibc that don't include, get rpm xyz.rpm and
install it, that would be useful to others as well.

I can't tell you what other programers think of GnuCash, but I can tell
you my opinion about the problem: Gnucash tries to use every possible
feature in program developping.
Linas,
Thanks. The instructions are quite confusing... including pointers to sites
that no longer provide the software necessary for a quick install. I think
compiling is the best advice for someone wanting a lesstif version. If I
can accomplish this in less than a few hours I'll build an RPM
