RedHat 7.1 and KDE install

[Alan Dayley]

I am fairly new to Linux so you can imagine that I have exhausted my 
knowledge on getting gnucash installed on KDE.

When I installed my system, I installed both KDE and Gnome but I use KDE.  No 
matter what I do, I run into dependency issues.  I solve one by downloading 
it and it wants another.  By the time I am down the dependency tree, I don't 
know what I have and have not installed.  I am not even sure if I have 
successfully installed some things that I think I have installed!

When is this headache going to be resolved with more than just a list on a 
web site saying "you need these packages, go get them."???  I just want to 
use gnucash but I guess only savy, experienced linux users can do so or, only 
those with a specific default installation can, because the lack of how-to 
information and/or a complete dependency package list is appaling.
