This is getting strange - I don't need that symlink.

:-) Welcome to my world.

OK. 
$ ./autogen.sh
$ make
$ su -c make install
The gnucash will start as $ gnucash.

If you want to install in a userspace location, like /opt, use:
./autogen.sh --enable-opt-style-install --prefix=/opt/gnucash

To start this kind of install, go to /opt/gnucash/bin/ and start 
using ./gnucash

You shouldn't need a path adjustment.

It's 2.13 that I can't get to work on my system. I've tried removing and 
re-installing autoconf2.13 but with no improvement.

No, that's fine. Thank you, Simon. That's answered my query - looks like I've 
got to solve this locally after all.
