[GNC] gnucash v 2.6.19 or newer on 32bit linux

[Adrien Monteleone]

Caveat:

You can have some dependency issues on that old machine that might 
prevent building the current version or using Flatpak.

I'd think you *should* be able to build 2.6.19 or 2.6.21 though. (2.6.21 
was the last 2.6 version)

Please do report back what you are able to accomplish.

If nothing works, consider possibly using RDP or VNC to your 64bit 
machine rather than a local install.

Regards,
Adrien
