*Caveat, I haven't tried building 4.9 yet, or used the referenced
script, but the below should still apply generally:
You're not dealing with a PPA.
The script is getting the source from Github and then building.
A PPA contains already built packages.
The wiki shows how to get info from the tracefile and how to run from
the terminal to get error output.
Reporting back that info, might enable someone here to help you figure
out why the app built successfully, but doesn't run properly.
You are (allegedly) beyond the build stage. Now you have run-time
problems. (which could be due to a faulty build, but without precise
error info, there is no way to know)

Adrien

I executed the above script but it did not build an executable version

A couple of posts remind to remember to "tick Source Code in the
Software And Updates dialogue" or the script would not work. They fail
to mention for what PPA.
What PPA's do I need for GNC? (on Ubuntu 20.04LTS)
The desktop icon file was also a complete gremlin. That issue may
resolve itself once I can successfully build a live, healthy, vivacious,
running version of 4.9 from source.
As of now I am renaming the thread from "how to remove both GNC 4.2 and
Flathub version 4.8 so can upgrade to 4.9 on Ubuntu 20.04LTS" to "Idiots
guide to building GNC 4.9 on Ubuntu 20.04LTS" as we have moved way past
removing 4.2 and Flathub 4.8. Right now I feel like a CSC 101 student
in a CSC 401 class, even though I went to CSC 640 in college and 880 in
the real world, yet I cannot successfully build GNC. Both irritating
and humiliating.
Somewhere I am overlooking that one simple first year programmers error.
