Upon further review: After exploring the forum in more depth, extending back about 2 years, I found a number of the established developers of gnucash voicing their doubts as to the viability of pushing gnucash passed what is in the ubuntu repository. In my case since I have had a muitple failures with the tarball techniques, siklylife ppa, flatpak, and lately even with the 3.5 deb not even working anymore - I just didn't want to risk the destruction of my production machine and my office network, just trying to make this tarball idea work. There is way too much hesitation about guile 2.0 & 2.2, gtk (and its libraries) & gnome3 and even Gobject in the literature to take these risks. I'm aware the folks are trying to move this code into C++ and what kind of hassle that is to rewrite all those lines. I also understand that their current object code is some 10 years out of date - where all my current failures have been coming from. So saying all that, my plans are to shift gnucash to a Debian 10 machine and work it in conjunction with the Windows 10 gnucash 3.7. Can't even believe myself saying that I'm relying on a windows machine after this last decade or so off of them. I'll shadow the forum from time to time and see if the atmosphere improves or I have to run a fresh install at some point in time and retest the tarball.
