Finally :)
For anybody else wanting to install help on SuSE 8.2
- extract gnucash-docs TAR file somewhere like ~/download/gnucash-docs- 
1.8.1
- Change folder to ~/download/gnucash-docs-1.8.1
- install any missing packages like scroll-keeper
- ./configure /opt/gnome
- make
- su to root
- make install

I have no idea what kind of end-user the developers have in mind, but for 
the average end-user the beforementioned procedure is a tick too 
complicated for my taste.
Maybe end-users on other continents are infinitisimally smarter than in New 
Zealand ;)
