Don't know if this would would work, but as mint is debian/buntu based 
you could add the ubuntu repositories that have gnucash and try 
installing from that.

Also there is another finance package, which I know nothing about, 
called ifreebudget. This has a .deb package available form its website, 
http://www.ifreebudget.com/. Might be worth a look?
