I run all SVN branches on opensuse10.2, and everything I needed to do in 
addition to choose the "Gnome development" pre-selection in fact was to 
select the package "guile-devel".

Unfortunately autogen.sh and aclocal doesn't give any diagnostic output when 
such autoconf macros haven't been found. So this doesn't mean anything. Just 
try running ./autogen.sh several times, until  the file aclocal.m4 in fact 
contains this macro:

  grep GUILE_MODULE_AVAILABLE aclocal.m4

should give you some matching lines.

As noted in our own collection of dependency versions, 
http://svn.gnucash.org/trac/browser/gnucash/trunk/README.dependencies#L262
on opensuse this package is called "gtkhtml2". So you chose the correct 
package.
