Jeff,
Just built GC4.9 on Linux Mint 20.2 (Ubuntu 20.04 based) with no problems. Give
it a go and come back to the forum with the terminal output if there are any
problems. You can select any terminal output and cut and paste it into a text
file then attache the text file to the post to avoid putting it directly in the
post.

I currently have GNC Version 4.2 installed on Ubuntu 20.04 LTS. At the
recommendation of a former post for info I also have 4.8 from flat-hub
somewhere on my system (have yet to find out where or how to remove it).
4.2 is is in the launch bar and has desktop icons to multiple sets of
books. The only way I have found to run 4.8 is in software manager and
have to change books manually (which 4.8 also had the nasty habit of
creating backup files on the desktop for some reason).
1) How do I uninstall both versions?
2) how do I install 4.9 (preferably without Flathub)? I also need
desktop icons to launch GNC from the desktop for multiple sets of books
(lucky me, I am the accountant/tax man for the entire family! I won't
even go into what condition I receive financial records in).
I am not opposed to building from source code but; all of my tries have
so far failed miserably on GNC.
It's a simple mater under Windoze but so far nothing I have tried works
on Ubuntu. And yes, I need the desktop icons for each set of books as
the icons are linked to each individuals books across multiple drives on
remote servers not just mine. My memory has had to many read/write
cycles to keep track of who is on which server drive and file name.

Okay, I am missing something simple here and I cannot figure it out.
I've followed every post and document I can find using duck-duck go to
find to howto build GNC 4.9.
I successfully uninstalled 4.2 sickly life and 4.8 flathub.
But it appears I am not even a day old computer programmer, after 40
plus years of coding. For the life of me I cannot get the 4.9 code and
tools for Ubuntu to install. I've followed every link I can find, even
those that David Cousins provided and I still cannot get the source or
dependencies to install or download.
Would someone please list for me in baby steps howto download and build
GNC 4.9 for Ubuntu?
