Please remember to copy the list on all replies. Removing /usr/local/lib/gnucash isn't enough. You'd also need to remove at least /usr/local/lib/libgnc* and /usr/local/share/gnucash.
You don't need the whole build directory. There's a single file, install-manifest.txt, that contains all of the files that were installed. With that one file you can do `xargs rm < install-manifest.txt` to uninstall GnuCash. You might consider saving it off somewhere before you delete the build directory.
