You may wish to recompile using the Debianized source:
http://packages.debian.org/testing/gnome/gnucash
Download the dsc, orig.tar.gz and diff file at the bottom
Unpack using dpkg-source -x *.dsc (* being the name of the file)
go into the created gnucash subdirectory and issue:
dpkg-buildpackage -rfakeroot
this then creates debs in the original directory which you can install using
sudo dpkg -i *.deb
With this method you keep your system squeaky clean.
