I build gnucash from (what I consider to be ) a different directory

my case at least) untars the tarball into
~/rpmbuild/BUILD/gnucash-1.9.0. That works even if I just tar up my
svn directory (although the "topdir" of my svn is also called
gnucash-1.9.0). I have also successfully taken the resulting srpm
and built that on another machine that did not have gnucash installed.
If I understand what your saying, this isn't quite the same thing. I'm
talking about building in a directory that doesn't have the source in
it at all. Suppose the source is in /opt/gnucash/src and you cd into
/opt/gnucash/build and execute "../src/configure --whatever; make".
This case actually works since the build directory is a sibling of the
source directory, but if it isn't then it doesn't work.
