Hi Christian,

I must've missed the documentation regarding the python-specific build 
options (--enable-python in ./configure), or maybe it's obvious to 
people with experience. After running

      ./configure --enable-python --enable-compile-warnings
    --prefix=/opt/gnucash/
      make clean
      make

make exits with the following error

    swig-app-utils-python.c: In function 'SwigPyObject_richcompare':
    swig-app-utils-python.c:1519: error: dereferencing pointer 'res'
