1 Try this:
2
3 1) ebuild /usr/portage/app-office/gnucash/gnucash-1.6.8.ebuild compile
4 (you can ctrl-c it if you want while its compiling. Let configure
5 finish though)
6
7 2) head /var/tmp/portage/gnucash-1.6.8/work/gnucash-1.6.8/config.status
8
9 You should see the configure line used
10
11 I.e.
12
13 #! /bin/sh
14 # Generated automatically by configure.
15 # Run this file to recreate the current configuration.
16 # This directory was configured as follows,
17 # on host scuzzlebutt:
18 #
19 # ./configure --prefix=/usr --host=i686-pc-linux-gnu
20 --mandir=/usr/share/man --infodir=/usr/share/info --datadir=/usr/share
21 --sysconfdir=/etc --localstatedir=/var/lib --enable-rpc
22 #
23 # Compiler output produced by configure, useful for debugging
24 # configure, is in ./config.log if it exists.

27 See if --enable-sql is in yours. It's not in mine since I don't use
28 postgres.
