I ran into a similar problem upgrading from 6.1, but with different
messages.  First, it appeared that RPM, contrary to its documentation, had
decided that libguile.so.6 (required by Gnome-games) was supposed to
replace libguile.so.4.  The easy fix for me, having neither the time nor
the interest in playing games, to delete Gnome-games and libguile.so.6 and
to reinstall libguile.so.4.

The other problem was that a symbolic link for slib in /usr/share/guile was
incorrect.  I fixed that and GnuCash started to work.
