This latest input to my thread seems to have been lost in the mail system. Here goes again. Most of you have the thread; this is a reply to the last post by Geert.
I did read the guidance initially, but not thoroughly. I have gone back to following the specific guidance; installed all of the required packages. Tried the suggested cmake with a build directory not under the source directory. Received the error message CMake Error: The source directory "/home/paul/Downloads/gnucash-2.6.12" does not appear to contain CMakeLists.txt. Specify --help for usage, or press the help button on the CMake GUI. CMake wasn't included in the installs. Trying ./configure --disable-dbi on the tarball still fails this time with Package gtk+-2.0 was not found in the pkg-config search path. Perhaps you should add the directory containing `gtk+-2.0.pc' to the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable No package 'gtk+-2.0' found configure: error: Library requirements (gtk+-2.0 >= 2.24.0) not met; consider adjusting the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable if your libraries are in a nonstandard prefix so pkg-config can find them. gtk+-2.0 is installed, the latest from Ubuntu. Thanks for all of your help.
