I am running RH8 and it came with 1.6 which had the help files in it (I
believe). I upgraded to 1.7.7 to get the scheduled transaction feature
using the RH8 rpm. I rpm -e gnucash before installing 1.7.7. No problems
with the rpm. But there were no help files and was informed about the
separate help package. I then installed the gnucash-docs RH8 rpm. Again
no problems. I then d'loaded the gnucash 1.7.8 RH8 rpm and did a rpm
-Uvh. Again no problems. I didn't use any of the other rpm that was
available.
