this sounds already quite good. You're almost there :-)

With this error, you either need to install the development package of  
"libdbi", which is called libdbi0-dev on ubuntu, or switch off  
gnucash's usage of dbi with the configure argument --disable-dbi, i.e.  
"./configure --disable-dbi ..."

Yes, the SVN checkout contains some more files than what is included  
in the distributed .tar.gz file (the "tarball"). Notably some of the  
artwork source files are also in SVN but not in the tarball.
