I uninstalled all the guppi RPMs and rm'd all guppi-related files from my 
system and started over. I compiled and installed Guppi and still had the 
same error. Ultimately it turned out to be a gnome-config issue. The 
gnome-config script (I don't know if this is a standard Gnome script, or 
something unique to Caldera) apparently needed to know about guppi. As I 
found out, it learns about installed libraries based on *Conf.sh files 
located in /opt/gnome/lib. Since there was no libguppiConf.sh file there, it 
didn't know about it being installed. After copying 
/usr/local/lib/libgippiConf.sh to /opt/gnome/lib, all was well with 
guppi...woohoo!

After getting past another minor problem, this time with g-wrap, I managed to 
get 1.6.3 compiled. But, I STILL can't run gnucash.

I installed gnucash into /opt. When I execute /opt/bin/gnucash, I get this 
error:
ERROR: In procedure scm-error in expression (scm-error (quote misc-error) #f 
...):
ERROR: ;required feature not supported:  printf

Can anyone help me with THIS one?

Thanks,
