libgtkhtml.so.10 dependency

I'm struggling to get Ximian gnucash 1.6.1-1 to run under RH 7.1 +
GNOME 1.4.

When I try to install the gnucash rpm, I get a dependency error:

     # rpm -ivh gnucash-1.6.1-1.i386.rpm
     error: failed dependencies:
	libgtkhtml.so.10   is needed by gnucash-1.6.1-1

I installed (-ivh --replacepkgs) libgtkhtml13-0.10.1, created a
symlink from libgtkhtml.so.10 to libgtkhtml.so.13, and ran ldconfig,
so that now I get:

     # /sbin/ldconfig -p | grep libgtkhtml.so.10
	libgtkhtml.so.10 (libc6) => /usr/lib/libgtkhtml.so.10

Nevertheless, I still get the same dependency error abovce when I try
to install the gnucash-1.6.1-1 rpm. 

It may be unwise to symlink from libgtkhtml.so.10 to libgtkhtml.so.13,
but a) I know of no alternative (on rmpfind, the available versions
jump from libgtkhtml9 to libgtkhtml13), b) shouldn't the dependency
now be satisfied for rpm in principle, whether or not gnucash actually
works?
