What OS/Distro are you using?
Are you using your distro's slib package?

Why not just use the distro's gnucash package?
* All recent versions of Fedora have 2.2.9:  yum install gnucash
* In CentOS you can get gnucash from EPEL
* In Debian/Ubuntu there's a 2.2.9 on launchpad, or you can pull all
  the build dependencies via:  apt-get build-dep gnucash
