Coming soon: gnucash 1.8
Debain isn't the only distro out there of course. There's no need to switch distros, upgrading to Mandrake 9.0 should be sufficient, at most the user could add a cooker source to urpmi to install the required libraries (and remove it afterwards, to prevent getting a whole bunch of other possibly semi-broken software).
But, installing the deps on a pre-Gnome2 distro to be able to run a development version of GTK/Gnome software is probably not feasible, at least not without requiring upgrades on much of the software (since many of the dependencies are complex, to allow gnome1.x software to co-exist with Gnome2 may require upgrading Gnome1.x libraries, requiring software depending on those libraries to be upgraded also).
Why doesn't one see this with KDE though, I wonder ...
