Maybe I can help out here, since I have just managed to install 1.6.1 on my 
SuSE 7.1. Thanx to all who helped me there.

I would suggest to install the progamm from source, since I had the 
experience, that downloading and installing an updated rpm from suse just 
gave me new unfullfilled dependencies. There is a helpfile describing the 
installation on a suse system in the doc directory of the gnucash tarball.

Most of the packages come with SuSE 7.1. You will have to download
g-wrap, Guppi, slib and gal. I think thats all. If you get a failure like 
"missing libguppi" you have installed guppi in the wrong path. Thats what 
happened to me. Linking the the libguppiConf to the /opt/gnome/lib/ may not 
be the most elegant way, but it worked.

Good luck.
