Are you running 10.2 or 10.3?  With 10.3 that command should finish
and actually install gnucash successfully.  If it errors out, what's
the error?

Here is what I get on 10.3 / unstable:

(...)

checking for libglade... no
checking for main in -lgal... no
configure: error: gal library not found. See the README and config.log for 
more info.
