I think running from the build dir doesn't quite work, unfortunately. However, 
you don't have to uninstall the system's gnucash. But you should let the newly 
compiled one be installed somewhere, such as

  ./configure --prefix=$HOME/testgnucash

and then 

  make
  make install
  cd $HOME/testgnucash/bin
  ./gnucash
