Alex, That sort of failure is often caused by having a mismatch between the installed version and the tested version of GnuCash, for example by installing maint and then attempting to build and check master. The dynamic linker will generally link libraries first from the install directory and look in the build directory only if it can't find the image in the install directory. To test if that's what's happening to you, run `make uninstall && make check` and see if it passes.
