Frank did reply to your first email, though he didn’t address the missing gnc-build-userdata-path.

Delete ~/.cache/guile
Make sure that you’re building from a completely clean source, in a completely clean build directory, and installing to a prefix with no <prefix>/<libdir>/gnucash. Make sure that there are no cached gnucash files anywhere guile can find them: You make need to fuddle guile’s search paths if you have gnucash installed from the package manager in /usr. I don’t know how to do that. The OpenSuSE packager hangs out on IRC with the nick luc14n0 and he might be able to help.
