[GNC] Compile of 3.2 fails

[Michael]

Geert, Thanks for the reply.  type gnucash gives /usr/local/bin/gnucash, 
but that seems to be an old 2.6.21 install that no longer works.  There 
is a working 2.6.21 in a $HOME/build-folder, but it doesn't show up.

I cleared the guile ccache with no improvement.

Looks like I should think about this some more and probably do a fresh 
install of Mint.  For now I can use 2.6.21.  Thanks, Mike
