You never have build gnucash from sources... this one is a real pain. 
Koha has an installer, that works in most cases (hoped at least).

Note, also, that i've a problem with "one click install". Even if we 
could install Koha in 1 click, that would be (almost) useless imho.
why ? Because it requires some PARAMETERS setups (branches, budgets, 
z3950 server, MARC parameters tuning...) that MUST be done in order to 
see what Koha can do.
and this task CAN'T BE AVOIDED.
I think, it's the biggest caveat for Koha => helping setting up the 
software.
However, that's also why I think there is a place for commercial 
services on Koha too :-))
