Sort of, sometimes. /usr/local is often owned by root, and permissions are sometimes set restrictively by default (look at the bash manpage and search on umask for details). You can probably fix it with
  sudo chmod a+x /usr/local/bin/gnucash
though that does depend on the libraries having reasonable permissions.
