I'm afraid that GnuCash has captured my "Most Convoluted Install"
rating...

Here are the minimum steps I needed to get GnuCash to open the first
window...

> 1.  SWIG
> 2.  nana
> 3.  guile
> 4.  XmHTML
>     XmHTML.cf:17: comment (XCOMM) this line
>     "do NOT follow instructions; use dist. makefiles" (bad imake files)
>     mv XmHTML-1.1.5 XmHTML
>     cd XmHTML
>     mv XmHTML-1.1.5 XmHTML (soft link; not sure why this one is here)
>     make 
>       debug.c:113: initializer element is not constant 
>         removed "= stdout" (runtime problems?)
>       http/Makefile:30: fails to make library
>         removed trailing "\"
>       src/Makefile:66: fails to make library
>         removed trailing "\"
> 5.  src/motif/Makefile.in
>       have not been able to fix this file to allow use of
>         --with-xmhtml-libraries=./XmHTML/src
>       gave up and copied XmHTML libs to /usr/local/lib
> 
> 6.  ./configure
>     make
>
> 7.  ./gnucash.bin: error in loading shared libraries: libXm.so.1: cannot open shared 
>object file: No such file or directory
>       ln -s /usr/local/lib/libXm.so.1 /usr/lib/libXm.so.1

Now to see what GnuCash can do...
