Description of problem:
When trying to insert financial functions (possibly others), 
in particular, the 'pv' function, no documentation is available
in the dialog. If you insert the function into your sheet, you
get the message "Function implementation not available" in the cell.

In the terminal, the following error is printed:

E Unable to open module file
"/usr/lib/gnumeric/1.2.8-bonobo/plugins/fn-financial/plugin.la".
  E /usr/lib/gnumeric/1.2.8-bonobo/plugins/fn-financial/plugin.so:
undefined symbol: get_mduration



Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
gnumeric-1.2.8-1

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Open gnumeric, select a cell, go to Insert->Function... menu item.
2.Select Finance in the Category listbox.
3.Select 'pv' (or many/any others) in the Function listbox.
    

Actual Results:  No documentation is available
in the dialog. If you insert the function into your sheet, you
get the message "Function implementation not available" in the cell.

In the terminal, the following error is printed:

E Unable to open module file
"/usr/lib/gnumeric/1.2.8-bonobo/plugins/fn-financial/plugin.la".
  E /usr/lib/gnumeric/1.2.8-bonobo/plugins/fn-financial/plugin.so:
undefined symbol: get_mduration


Expected Results:  Documentation on the pv function and its arguments
appear in the Description field. 'pv' can be used as normal in the
spreadsheet, and no error on the terminal seen.

Rebuilding the src rpm for gnumeric did not help.
