Dennis,

The error says that "make" is on root's path but not dennis's and that it's a 
link to /usr/bin/cmake and that doesn't exist. That's a problem with your 
system and you need to clean it up.

When `make uninstall` fails check to see if install_manifest.txt exists in the 
build directory. If it doesn't then you'll have to uninstall GnuCash manually 
as David explained. if it is there then you can run the command that make 
uninstall would: `xargs rm < install_manifest.txt`.

Regards,
John Ralls
