Well, right now there's no general way around compiling it yourself,
but if you have a Debian system at least, something similar to the
following should work (This presumes that you've checked out the CVS
sources into ~/gnucash, and (since there's no Debian XmHTML package
yet) that you comple XmHTML in ~/XmHTML-1.1.5 where indicated):

  $ apt-get update
  $ apt-get install swig guile1.3 libguile4-dev lesstifg-dev

  # apt will go get the packages you need and install them here,
  # including any packages that the ones listed depend on...

  # Now compile XmHTML here now that lesstifg's installed.

  $ cd gnucash
  $ configure --prefix=/usr/local/opt/gnucash \
              --with-opt-style-install \
              --with-xmhtml-includes=~/XmHTML-1.1.5/include \
              --with-xmhtml-libraries=~/XmHTML-1.1.5/src
  $ make motif

Now you should be able to run the binary from within ~/gnucash like
this:

  LD_LIBRARY_PATH=~/XmHTML-1.1.5/src ./gnucash data/splitdemo.xac

Hope this helps someone...
