Caveats

Caveats for testers:
Any 1.9.x version might crash unexpectedly at any point during
runtime. If you test some serious work in a 1.9.x release, make sure you hit
"Save" after ever non-trivial workstep.
The documentation has had screenshots updated, however, most help
texts usually only refers to the 1.8.x series.
Everyone is invited to help improve the documentation; see 
http://wiki.gnucash.org/wiki/Development on how to get
involved.

I don't know.  What's the exact error?
More likely you don't have the proper development packages installed.
