Installation Problems

I'm trying to install gnucash on a SuSE 7.0 system with kernel 2.4.2 and
glibc 2.1. Here is what I've tried so far:
1. installing gnucash-1.4.9 as rpm, but this gave me a failed
dependencies error saying I needed guile. so I downloaded, compiled
(because of dependency failures w/the guile rpm), and installed guile by
hand, then tried installing the rpm and get failed dependency about not
having libguile.so.9--which is installed and resting happily (or hiding,
perhaps) in /usr/lib. Maybe this has something to do with the fact that
I can find libguile.so.9 by ls -as /usr/lib by not if I try "find
/usr/lib libguile.so.9"?
2. since I was having trouble with the rpm, I thought maybe I'd have
better luck if I downloaded the source and installed it by hand. Of
course, then I get some other dependcy error and end up installing slib
and g-wrap. Once this is done, I do ./configure to configure the
gnucash sources and I get an error message saying it doesn't appear
g-wrap is installed, to make sure that it is installed and it's binary
is in my path. Okay, so I uninstall and reinstall g-wrap thinking I
did something wrong, and this time I checked where it was installing the
binaries to--supposedly /usr/local/bin. So after 'make install' for
g-wrap this time I go check /usr/local/bin and find that there is only
g-wrap-config there...no g-wrap binary!
I'm at a loss at this point. I've been working on this for two nights
now and am just left scratching my head. Does anyone have any
suggestions? (Or a beer?)
Thanks,
Tim
