What makes you think that a RH7.3 RPM would work on SuSE?

Same question.

You will need to find an RPM for SuSE, or you will need to rebuild it
yourself.  Search the archives of this list for previous examples.
SuSE pacakges g-wrap and Guppi inside the gnucash rpm so you
wont find separate RPMs for those packages on SuSE.

I recommend you start with the SuSE RPM and update it appropriately.
