RPM not working?

Hi,

Is the gnucash 1.46 RPM broken?  I have installed it on Red Hat
6.2 and when I run it, I get:

  chris% gnucash --version
  It appears you do not have the 'slib' scheme library installed.
  You need slib2c4 or later to run GnuCash.

  Obtain slib at: http://swissnet.ai.mit.edu/~jaffer/SLIB.html

  If you have slib installed, you may need to create
  a symbolic link named 'slib' from the guile directory
  (usually /usr/share/guile) to the directory where slib
  is installed.

  You may also need to run the following command as root:

    guile -c "(use-modules (ice-9 slib)) (require 'new-catalog)"

On closer inspection, there are 2 symlinks in /usr/share/guile called
"slib" and "slibcat" which both point to non-existent directories 
(../../lib/umb-scheme/slib and ../../lib/umb-scheme/slibcat).
Furthermore, there is no "umb-scheme" directory anywhere on my system ..

Is there a quick solution to this does anyone know?

Thanks,

- Chris
