Hello,

This will install the downloaded version in /usr/local/. So if you want 
to call your newly gnucash you should run:

/usr/local/bin/gnucash

if you want to change the installation location you should use the 
--prefix option with configure (see the INSTALL file)

Please, any gnucashguru, correct me if i am wrong.
