For Red Hat users (please no religious distribution wars): I just want 
to briefly relate my experience with the newly released Red Hat 7.2 and 
GnuCash. If you are running an older version of Red Hat, and you are 
considering installing GnuCash 1.6, I strongly recommend that you just 
upgrade to RH7.2. GnuCash works out of the box, and if you select it 
during the install process, it will tell you there are dependencies, and 
if you check the box, it will automatically install all necessary 
packages. I found doing an upgrade of Red Hat Linux to be way easier 
than trying to hunt around and find all the necessary packages to get 
GnuCash 1.6 to work on an older system, even 7.1
