[GNC] piecharts/linecharts turned blank in reports after upgrade

[John Ralls]

No, that switches only the libgnc*.so libs in lib/gnucash. There are others in lib/.

You cannot build GnuCash with an installed GnuCash. You must `sudo apt-get remove gnucash` then `rm -rf *` your build directory and re-run cmake && ninja.
