It's non-trivial to build "static" executables, especially against old 
libraries.

2.0.0 had some serious (read: data-losing) bugs; you do not want to use it.

This is supposition.

Please run gnucash from a terminal as follows:

   $ gnucash --debug

... reproduce the problem, and post the resulting /tmp/gnucash.trace file,
along with any output to the terminal.  You mentioned in an earlier thread
that you "posted" the output, but I'm not sure if/where you were referring
to.
