Thank you Stephen and Colin,

I am going around and around.  I am a little confused as to whether the
instructions in the above thread apply to 18.04 or 18.10??
Nevertheless, I followed the commands line by line,  (Although I
note that when it gets to the: "libboost-locale1.65.1
libboost-regex1.65.1" line it say it does not recognise the command.)
However, I always land up where I started.  I should note here that
Synaptic sees the 3.4 version but it's greyed out and there is an !
mark.

Here's some additional information which may point to my dilemma:-

I have available in my Software Centre 2 versions of Gnucash: 
	1. ver 1.2.6.19-1.
	2. ver Version: 3.2 Build ID: 3.2+ (2018-06-24).  I notice that
	the source is dl.flathub.org.  Futhermore, I discover, in my
	frenzy, that Synaptic does not see this version - even though
	it is installed?  So I guess "flathub" is outside the Ubuntu
	relm? It seems to work okay, although I have not thoroughly
	tested it.
I discover that I can install each of the above versions and they can
run independently.

All of that said, I simply want to install the latest version and keep
the system and myself happy.

Dave W
