Okay - I now have;

Lots of dependencies for Gnome development.

A stray symbolic link for slib in /usr/share/guile because it didn't
look where Debian put slib. Can you report this if it hasn't been Neil.

A 1.2MB script file of my repeated attempts to build GNU Cash.

- -- I've never seen gcc statements bigger than one full screen of
text before -- the dependencies are getting scary.

Various autoconf/automake logs of what appears to be a successful
build under Debian testing.

Absolutely no clue how to run gnucash :(

export PATH=$PATH:/home/srw/test/gnucash/src/bin
gnucash
        Just eats CPU like it is going out of fashion.

| Anyone got any clues about what might be wrong with my config?

If you are running unstable - your call I fear :(

What version of autoheaders2.13 ?  Testing is Version: 2.13-43

| Anyone else get the same errors on Debian?

Not obviously - phone me for a shell account ;)
