FWIW, Fedora 28 installs Gnucash from repository into /usr/share.
Thanks to everyone for all the hard work that goes into making Gnucash what it is.

The wiki entry for building v3 on Ubuntu [1] has get me up and running with little difficulty so many thanks who contributed to writing it. There is an error there, though, I think. The section on install-target says for /usr/local: /usr/local - this location is commonly used for versions distributed with linux distributions and is the default option. If installed here the program will be available to all users on the system. If you use this folder, use it with caution as installing from the distribution will overwrite your build and vice versa. I do not believe that is correct. The distribution will not generally install into /usr/local and in fact, at least on Ubuntu, this is a common place to put home built stuff. Applications installed there will not get overwritten by applications installed using apt-get. Shall I go ahead and change that? Also I think the title could be improved to indicate that it is for anything after Ubuntu 16.04. I know it says that in the text but the title is confusing I think.
