All libs are now in /usr/local/lib/
You have to move them to /usr/lib/
Could have been done with ./configure --libdr=/usr/lib

My guess the an old gnucash was updated and your new gnucash is now 
using the libgnc-gnome.so.0 from the update

To prevent overwriting your own libgnc-gnome.so.0 you have to
uninstall gnucash of your distro
