What exact version of G-Wrap did you use? This should beeen fixed
since a while now - Gnucash should build/work with 1.9 as-is.

Yes and no. The runtime is parallel-installable, so you can keep
applications/libraries built with 1.3 installed when upgrading G-Wrap
to 1.9, but the development environment is not. This is not a problem
however, due G-Wrap 1.9 provides compatibility with 1.3.
