[GNC] Upgrading from old repo to new stable (4.06)

[davidcousens49 at gmail.com]

Jean,

The Linux build instructions are here 
https://wiki.gnucash.org/wiki/Building_On_Linux

If you are installing 4.6 there are some new dependencies which will be in the
release notes and the dependency files in the sources. AFAIK the wiki hasn't yet
been updated to deal with any V4.6 issues.

You could also try the Flathub version https://wiki.gnucash.org/wiki/Flatpak.
