Why are you doing this as root?  There's no need any of this as root
(except for the "make install").  Everything else can (and SHOULD) be done
as your own user.

This would seem to imply a missing library.  maybe a remnant from an older
build?  try:

sudo make uninstall

Also make sure you don't have a gnucash package installed through apt.
