Playing around with a VM that I had earlier installed 5.14 on, I found GC failed to start after Ubuntu upgraded itself to 26.04. It's an unimportant historical install, so I just started hacking at things. I updated the dependencies and tried a new build, but that also failed, so I just deleted the whole gnucash folder in /opt and am about to restart from scratch.

This whole thing is an exercise in better understand how the various elements interact or conflict, so I'm just playing. It seems I have 3 basic alternatives: 1. build from source (presumably download the sources tarball, expand and run the build) 2. use Software to install the default gnucash from the Ubuntu repositories
3. use Software to install the flatpak version

Is that correct, and are all three of these fundamentally equivalent (vis-a-vis execution, not development) if successfully installed?

Also, can I do all three on the same Ubuntu system without creating conflicts?

Thanks for all help, Paul
