I agree; this is what I would normally do. However, when I ran ./configure
after doing  'sudo make uninstall' and 'sudo make distclean', I got this funny
error about SLIB not being installed when clearly it was. I tried 
symlinking "ln -s" as specified in one of the posts to a forum and various 
other things (verifying the install by comparing to jsled's configuration 
output, etc) and nothing worked except to run as superuser (sudo). I might 
have borked a part of the install of gwrap or guile or slib but I don't think 
so.

Thanks for the tip. I've recently switched to Ubuntu and checkinstall seems to
be what is recommended. It seems to work (at least I can use gnucash again). 
However, I didn't enter any dependencies into the system so, other than being 
to use dpkg -r gnucash, I'm not  certain what I gained.
