Instead, do:

$ ./autogen.sh --prefix /opt/gnucash-gtk2 --enable-maintainer-mode --enable-debug
$ make install
$ /opt/gnucash-gtk2/bin/gnucash

[FWIW, you may find it easier to fiddle with the ownership and
permissions on /opt/gnucash-gtk2 so you can get at it from your user
account, side-stepping the need to become root in order to work with
development code].

This will modify generated absolute paths in the package to load from
the correct directory.  As it stands, you're building a package which
expects to be installed in /usr, then simply moving it into /opt at
install time; but for a variety of reasons we need to generate those
paths to the correct location right now.
