Here is a script I've been using to build gnucash on kubuntu. I realize I should be using a build mechanism, but I'm still ignorant.
Anyway, the primary purpose to post is to show the list of packages needed based on a completely pristine kubuntu installation. I've noted the ones that are different between breezy (current stable release) and dapper (release candidate "flight 4"). FWIW, 1.9.2 runs on dapper, but I didn't do anything more that start it up so far.
