I created a fresh VM using ubuntu 21.04, minimal install with no gnucash
installed.

$ sudo apt-get build-dep gnucash
$ git clone https://github.com/Gnucash/gnucash.git
$ cd gnucash
$ git reset --hard 4.6
$ mkdir ../build && cd ../build
$ cmake ../gnucash
$ make -j8
$ ./bin/gnucash

the resulting gnucash produced blank charts.  tables are visible when
enabled.
