So, I did this --nodeps.  Guncash loaded just fine but it is no running. 
I have a Gnucash icon in my GUI menu and when I click nothing happens.  I
was able to uninstall it and then I ran rpm -ivv to look at what was
happening.  I saw that I was also missing Guppi.  So I installed that and
then reran rpm -ivv and the only dependency I was missing was F::Q, so I
reran rpm --nodeps but Gnucash still does not run.  Any help?
