Questions:
1. Will the 1.1.9 g-wrap break the precompiled (binary rpm) version of gnucash 1.4.9?
2. Or does this only affect re-compiling 1.4.9?

install it in a separate location (say /usr/local/opt/g-wrap).
You will need to pass --with-g-wrap-prefix=DIR where DIR is the
directory you choose to install g-wrap.You use the prefix argument to configure (--prefix=/usr/local/opt/g-wrap)
to specify where to install g-wrap.> A 2nd related question: what's the normal procedure after you've done

to autogen.sh.dave
