See my previous reply to Chris Green, and also check the Wiki. Plenty of users are on various backends under various OS.

Re: [GNC] Linux. Mysql and Gnucash 4.1
It offers 4 backends: XML (default) SQLite MySQL/MariaDB PostgreSQL You have to install the desired backend libs in most cases to be offered the option of using it. The default requires no special effort. Many Linux distros also come with SQLite support by default, so mileage varies. MySQL/Maria & Postgres almost always require intentional lib installation and if I'm not mistaken, specific build flags. Check the wiki for more specific and up to date info.

I worked it out in the end. Had to install the perl-DBI library etc and I am away. Gnucash also works with postgres.
