[GNC] GC won't load on Ubuntu 19.04

[David Cousens]

Dennis,

I don't know how extensive the upgrade to 19.04 was but on Linux Mint
upgrades I usually rebuild GnuCash because the Linux kernel has usually been
changed and in some cases the libraries themselves may need to be reloaded
as there will be versions in the repository built for that new OS version.
If you are buidling Gnucash you will have to have the development headers
for the dependency libraries installed but to run it you also have to
install the libraries themselves. The instructions on the BUild on Linux
page usually load both.

If you are going to build GnuCash you might as well go straight  to 3.5 and
start there. If cmake didn't throw an error then it is likely you have all
the header files for the libraries installed (these don't necessarily change
when the OS is upgraded) so you may need to install any of the libraries you
get runtime errors for. After upgrading to 19.04 it is likely you would need
to reinstall all the dependency libraries.

Steven Butler's posts re building the .deb version  for Ubuntu 19.04 on the
DEV forum may also  be worth looking at for possible problems.
