Then configure failed. The tail of its output should say why, and excruciating detail can be found in config.log.

One likely reason for configure to fail is missing dependencies. You need the development packages for them to build GnuCash. See http://wiki.gnucash.org/wiki/FAQ#Q:_I_heard_it_is_too_hard_to_compile_GnuCash.21 for an easy way to get them installed on the major distros. That section of the FAQ has more information about building, as do README, README.dependencies, and INSTALL in the  tarball and http://wiki.gnucash.org/wiki/Building.
