gnucash 1.4.5 rpm

[Matt Theisz]

I'm not sure of this so if I miss step would some one please shoot me
down?

That said I believe what you are encountering is an RPM Database
issue. The Rpm program maintains a database on your machine of all of the
program's that it has installed, their dependencies as well as the files
that they provide.  When you go to install something new(gnucash) it
checks that packages dependency's against files/versions that it already
has. If it does not read having the required files it errors. If you
installed the packages manually(tarball's without RPM) the files necessary
are present on the machine and the software will run but they are not
entered into the RPM database.

This may be the case or a database problem or a version conflict.

hope that helps.
