I am not primarily a Linux user, and I don't use Debian, but I note the wiki page at
 
wiki.gnucash.org/wiki/Building#Debian
 
as well as the blog at
 
blog.oldcomputerjunk.net/2012/building-gnucash-from-getdeb-sources-and-passing-configure-options-to-dpkg-buildpackage/
 
which describes compiling and installing. Perhaps they would get you a later version of Gnucash?

John,

Thanks for your great detective work.  Now, I need to decide where I go from
here.

*1. *I'm currently loading lots of data into gnucash to get my business
running in it.  If I switch versions of gnucash, I'm presuming that all of
that work will not go to waste (i.e. the data will be preserved).

*2.*  Also, since I'm running Debian stable (Squeeze), I'm sort of stuck
with GC 2.4.4 at the moment, since it is the only version available in the
backports repo.  I'm guessing that this is something that I need to bring up
with the Debian folks....does that sound right?

Once again, thanks for all of your hard work.  This is one thing I bring up
when I try to explain my jump to Linux to my friends.  Yes, the programs are
not bug-free, but the help available is so much better than that available
from the Windows community!
