[GNC] Uninstall GC

[John Ralls]

Adrien,

Yeah, that got me too because the line wrapped between .local and the second /home/dennis. There's a space there so the install prefix is /home/dennis/.local and the source directory is /home/dennis/Applications/gnucash-3.1.

Regards,
John Ralls

Installing GnuCash from apt will put everything in /usr like all of the other programs on the machine and install a new desktop file pointing there.
