I'm updating this thread since I broke the URL with a tiny change:

http://wiki.gnucash.org/wiki/Building#Ubuntu_10.04_LTS_.28Lucid_Lynx.29

Ubuntu 10.04 "Lucid Lynx" is an LTS (Long Term Support) release, a
distinction which may be important to someone reading this page trying
to decide what versions need some sort of attention. The previous LTS
release was identified that way so I added it to the heading.
