Bzzt.  You cannot link like that.  The library number changed
because the ABI is different.  Also, libgtkhtml-2 is a Gnome2
library; gnucash is a gnome1.4 application..

You _MAY_ be able to get it to work with gtkhtml-1.1, but
most likely you need to re-install the Redhat-distributed
gtkhtml-1.0.4-3

Go back and fix the gtkhtml problem correctly...
