	Hi Conrad, then I should just drop this list and bug Red Hat to 
fix the rpm they are shipping with Red Hat 8.0. Instead I just got the 
tar ball for gnucash version 1.6.6, a "stable" ie: old version and today 
Sunday I plan to collect files necessary to compile this version right 
on RH 8.0. Then at least I will know the software should run on the 
machine.
