Still hard to install

[Dan Kegel]

OK, I waited for Red Hat 7.2 (beta), and am willing to tackle
installing gnucash again.

Downloading the RPM from gnucash.org and trying to install it yields

error: failed dependencies:
        libgal.so.8   is needed by gnucash-1.6.2-1
        libgnomeprint.so.11   is needed by gnucash-1.6.2-1
        libgtkhtml.so.13   is needed by gnucash-1.6.2-1

        libreadline.so.4.1   is needed by gnucash-1.6.2-1    

It looks like the needed RPM's might in fact be on gnucash.org,
but they're spread out across several directories.

Until red hat ships apt-get or the like, or includes gnucash on its
disks, IMHO there needs to be an easier way to get the needed files.

Is it too much to ask that there be a single FTP directory where
I can do  

  ftp ftp.gnucash.org
  prompt
  cd /pub/redhat-7.x
  mget *.rpm
  quit
  rpm -i *.rpm

?  Please don't make me think harder than that!   *

Thanks,
Dan
