Karl,

  What permissions do you have on these files?

  Did you run, as root, 'find / -name gnucash'? That'll locate everything on
your system.

  I have a directory entitled '.gnucash' in my home directory. That contains
two other directories, books/ and data/, plus config-1.6.auto.

  Also, as root, run 'rpm -e gnucash-<version>' and that should take out
everything for you. Then, when you try re-installing, let us know what
dependency errors you get.
