Hi Mike, I assume you are using the downloaded tarball and not a download from the github repository as the latter requires autogen.sh to be run before running cmake.
I have never used the checkinstall to install GnuCash so can't comment but it appears to do a make install and maintain records for the uninstall that dpkg can use. GnuCash maintains its own install_manifest.txt in the build directory and the "make uninstall" does a complete uninstall of all system locations but does not uninstall user preference locations in $HOME/.local/share/gnucash. It does however require that you keep a copy of the source and build directories. Cmake does set the default to /usr/local so that should not be the problem. You need to run "make" with no target in the build directory after having run cmake and then "sudo make install" to do the actual install to /usr/local. I don't know enough about checkinstall to know if it does the separate make run to build the libraries so I would perhaps try doing a "make" with no arguments in the build directory and then perhaps try the checkinstall. There is also a "make check" argument that will check and build the libraries and then run the unit tests. I get a failure on test-date-facilities with "make check" but that does not stop GnuCash3.7 from building and installing. I've attached the output from "make" GCMake3_7.txt <http://gnucash.1415818.n4.nabble.com/file/t375329/GCMake3_7.txt> . You should see a similar output on the terminal while running the bare make command.
