No versions of GnuCash depend on redhat 6.2. However, pre-compiled
binary packages depend on having the library versions they were
compiled with.

It appears you upgraded guile to version 1.4. In that case, make sure
you download the version of gnucash in the redhat-7-guile-1-4 directory.
You will also need the other packages in that directory.
