I would start with:

  apt-get build-dep gnucash

This should install all the build dependencies.  If not, it's an
Ubuntu packaging error and you should file a bug with Ubuntu.

> 6) $ cd Desktop/GnuCash2.2.5-source/gnucash-2.2.5
>
> 7) $ ./configure
>
> 8) $ make
>
> 9) $ sudo -s
>
> 10) # make install
>
> 11) Delete temporary desktop folder (Desktop/GnuCash2.2.5-source)
