What branch is your checkout?

You don't need -r HEAD -- the HEAD branch is assumed -- assuming you
started with HEAD.  If you checked out a branch then this might not do
what you think/want.  You might be better off checking out a clean tree
from head:

  cvs -d ... -q checkout -d gnucash-head gnucash

Is 1.8 also installed in /opt/gnucash-1.8?  Or is 1.8 installed in
/usr or /usr/local?  You might have wanted to run a "make clean"
before "make", in case you already had stuff in your tree.
