(a) find found:

/usr/local/lib/libgnc-qof.so.1.0.4
/usr/local/lib/libgnc-qof.so
/usr/local/lib/libgnc-qof.so.1
/usr/local/lib/libgnc-qof.la

(b) when I followed John's suggestion, GnuCash first displayed a dialogue
offering to set some paths for the installation; when I said yes, it then
found the copy of the GnuCash file that I had for the removed copy of 2.2.9.
After that, GnuCash runs fine, both from the command line, just gnucash, and
from the Gnome menu.

(c) I have sqlite3 installed, and GnuCash will save in that format. However,
when I click Save as after entering the new name, I get this message:

The file sqlite3:///home/tony/abd/GnuCash/jh.gnucash already exists. Are you
sure you want to overwrite it?

when I say yes, it saves the file under that name. (Of course, I'm supplying
new names.) I didn't see anything in Bugzilla about this.
