I don't seem to need that to build (in fact I can't find it in the Ubuntu repo).

@Anthony, did you install all the stuff mentioned for 12.04 on the
wiki, so that is
sudo apt-get build-dep gnucash
sudo apt-get install libtool swig git libgnomeui-dev xsltproc
libxslt-dev doxygen
and it seems we now also need
sudo apt-get install libxslt1-dev

Colin
