Error building gnucash

[Derek Atkins]

Most likely some package is being installed by:

        make prefix=... install

instead of

        make DESTDIR=/tmp/root install

Another possibility is that something was built with an incorrect
prefix..

Your best bet is to not install/distribute the .la files.
