GnuCash 1.8.1-4 and RedHat 9: Error in main.scm

[John Puhalski]

I have been having trouble with my version of gnucash.  I have read through
the
posts and realize my problem is with the QIF import bug relating to my
splits.

I have Red Hat 9.0 installed but the most recent version of gnucash that I
found
was for RH8.0.  (I have since found the version for 9.0, see below).

While attempting to upgrade gnucash 1.8.1-3 I recieved the following error
message.

[root at jmorning download]# rpm -Uvh gnucash-1.8.2-1.RH8.0.i386.rpm
error: Failed dependencies:
        libgal.so.19 is needed by gnucash-1.8.2-1.RH8.0
        libgtkhtml.so.20 is needed by gnucash-1.8.2-1.RH8.0
        libguile.so.9 is needed by gnucash-1.8.2-1.RH8.0
        libqthreads.so.0 is needed by gnucash-1.8.2-1.RH8.0
        gnucash = 1.8.1 is needed by (installed)
gnucash-backend-postgres-1.8.1-3

The files I have on my system are newer.
      libgal.so.21
      libgtkhtml-2.so.0
      libguile.so.12
      libqthreads.so.12

I downloaded the following rpms to install for the file dependencies I
needed:
      libgal19-0.19-5.i386.rpm,
      gtkhtml-1.0.4-3.i386.rpm,
      guile-1.4-8.i386.rpm

I was able to install libgal19-0.10-5 ok and satisfied the libgal.so.19
dependency
but the others gave me error messages of:

[root at localhost gnucash]# rpm -ivh gtkhtml-1.0.4-3.i386.rpm
Preparing...                ###########################################

      file from package gtkhtml-1.1.8-5
      file /usr/bin/gtkhtml-properties-capplet from install of
      gtkhtml-1.0.4-3 conflicts with file from package gtkhtml-1.1.8-5

      file /usr/share/aclocal/guile.m4 from install of guile-1.4-8
      conflicts with file from package guile-1.6.0-4

I then found out that gnucash-1.8.2-0.9.i386.rpm for RH9.0 is available.

When attempting to install the rpm for Red Hat 9.0
gnucash-1.8.2-0.9.i386.rpm
I had another fail for dependencies.  I tried both updating and intsalling.

[root at jmorning download]# rpm -Uvh gnucash-1.8.2-0.9.i386.rpm
      error: Failed dependencies:
      gnucash = 1.8.1 is needed by (installed)
gnucash-backend-postgres-1.8.1-3

[root at jmorning download]# rpm -ivh gnucash-1.8.2-0.9.i386.rpm
      Segmentation fault

I then attempted to unintsall my present version gnucash-1.8.1-3 an I get
the
following error:

[root at localhost root]# rpm -e gnucash-1.8.1-3
      error: Failed dependencies:
      libgncmod-engine.so.0 is needed by (installed)
gnucash-backend-postgres-1.8.1-3
      gnucash = 1.8.1 is needed by (installed)
gnucash-backend-postgres-1.8.1-3


I'm not sure what to do next, any suggestions would be appreciated.
thanks
john
