Well, the easiest way to get started is to first install mandrake's rpm of 
gnucash using rpmdrake or urpmi.  This will pull in all the runtime 
dependencies.

Then look in gnucash's README, ALL the direct dependencies are listed.  Make 
sure to install all the *-devel rpms of those packages.

Then it SHOULD work, but we all know how computers are...
