I tried to compile gtkhtml on my potato system (so I could compile the
latest version of gnucash). It seemed to compile, and install fine,
but then the configure script for gnucash failed, with undefined
symbol errors:

[truncated]

I would be interested

a) what I did wrong.

b) how your package overcomes this problem. I note that libgtkhtml3
only depends on libc6...

I have the helix-gnome packages installed.
