Gnucash-Installation never without problems

[Derek Atkins]

Both "configure" AND "make" should be done as you, not as root.
So:

  rm -rf gnucash-2.0.2
  tar -xzf gnucash-2.0.2.tar.gz
  cd gnucash-2.0.2
  ./configure ...
   make
   sudo make install

NOTE:  If you ./configure --prefix=/opt/gnucash  then you DO NOT need
to "sudo make install".  Instead you could "sudo mkdir /opt/gnucash"
and then "sudo chown $USER /opt/gnucash" and then you can run "make install"
as yourself.
