Sorry for the blank previous reply.  Hit the wrong darn button.

For whatever it's worth, here's how I got 1.8.4 installed on my new RH 9 system
last week.

The RH 9 CDs have gnucash 1.8.1 already on them.  So, I pulled up the package installer tool and installed it from there.  Doing it that way took care of
also installing the other required packages.  Then, by looking at past messages
from this list, I found one where someone said they had made the 1.8.4 rpm 
and placed it online.  I don't recall exactly where it came from (I'm not
at my machine at the moment).  So, I grabbed that one and upgraded the gnucash
package by using the -U option of rpm.

It runs fine but I still need to figure out if I should transfer all my
data from MS Money or start from scratch.
