GnuCash 2.2.5 Compilation Cookbook for Ubuntu Hardy Heron

[Tony Nelson]

Hi All,

After many errors and more than a little frustration I was finally able
(with the kind help of some of you) to get GnuCash to compile on
Ubuntu's Hardy Heron.  I now have GnuCash 2.2.5 up and running.  

I decided to document the steps I took so that I will probably be able
to more easily compile and install subsequent code releases.  

I'm not sure if the following is of any value to anyone, but just in
case here are the steps I took.  

Regards,
Tony
