Last time I looked at it (sca. 1/2 Jear ago) the Compiere-website stated that 
they need Oracle as a DB. I found a PostgreSQL-port which I didn't get to 
work in a stable way.

I also think that Compiere has a very complicated User-Interface. I had a hard 
time to find out how to do some simple accounting. In contrast to that it was 
a lot easier for me with tinyerp. On the other hand Compiere offers many more 
details that you can handle that tinyerp does.

Both of them are not comparable to GnuCash. GC has no sophisticated ERP and 
CRM features, but rocks especially with usability as an accounting tool.
