That's odd.  How did you build it?  I.e., what arguments did you give
when running `./autogen.sh`?

I usually do:

./autogen.sh --prefix /opt/gnc-g2-unstable --enable-debug --enable-etags
--enable-doxygen && make install

When I then do `/opt/gnc-g2-unstable/bin/gnucash`, it definitely runs
the /opt -installed version.
