Installation Problems

[Tim Boring]

  I finally got gnucash installed.  Took a little more work, but I 
uninstalled all the dependent packages from my SuSE 7.0 distro and 
downloaded/compiled/installed from the sources.  I was then able to 
compile and install gnucash without any of the complaints I was getting 
before.  Oh, yeah, and I also ran ldconfig.

Thanks,
Tim
