It’s part of GnuCash. Any library that starts with libgnc or libgncmod is part of GnuCash. Its main external dependency is libgtk-x11.so though it has several others in the Gnome stack.

You do know that there are distros that do provide GnuCash and quite possibly the other programs you need without your having to build them yourself, right?
