Chanchao, have you tried this, *before* you run ./configure :

sudo apt-get build-dep gnucash ?


Ah..! I guess that would work, even though it's the old gnucash
version?? Will try it right away... So far happily chugging along with
libgnomeui-dev, libgnomeprint-dev, libgnomeprintui-dev, libgtkhtml-dev,
etc etc etc ... :)

However................ just ran apt-get build-dep gnucash but it did
not work:

---

# apt-get build-dep gnucash

E: Unable to find a source package for gnucash


$ sudo apt-get build-dep gnucash

Relevant lines that are possibly missing in your /etc/apt/sources.list:

deb-src http://au.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ dapper main restricted
deb-src http://au.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ dapper-updates main restricted
deb-src http://au.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ dapper universe multiverse
deb-src http://au.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu dapper-security main restricted
deb-src http://au.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu dapper-security universe
multiverse

[ignore the wraps if any , and of course the au. prefix ]

gnucash is a "universe" package, so the "multiverse" entries are probably
not needed. Note that the packages that will be installed by "apt-get
build-dep" are not source packages - but if apt thinks no source exists
for gnucash, it will fall over, as you saw...
