FWIW, it built out of the box for me.  Ubuntu 8.04 x86_64.

I already had gnucash installed from the apt repository.

I did an "apt-get build-dep gnucash".  It installed a few things.

I untarred, did a "./configure --prefix=/usr", followed by a "make".   
Built without errors.

I did an "apt-get remove gnucash" to remove the repository version, then a  
"make install" to install the fresh build.

It put the icon back on my applications menu, I clicked it, it came right  
up.  :-)
