While that’s a bunch of noise it’s not what’s crashing GnuCash. It does suggest that there’s something wrong with Guile on your machine and it’s possible that the rebuilt .go files are also invalid.

No env vars used (that I know).  launch build by commands:
cmake -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/home/john/.local/gnucash-3.3 /mosource/gnucash
make
sudo make install

2.2 was removed when I used a prerequisites script to get dependencies for debian.
I have 2.0 installed.  I just found that 2.2 was still there, only guile-2.2-dev was removed,
so I did sudo apt purge guile-2.2 and libguile-2.2
and removed all 2.2 from
/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu

Did that.  /usr/local/share/gnucash was there, now deleted.

After another configure and compile the run time errors go away and all is well.
Thanks for the hints on cleaning out the old that conflicts with the new.
