This one did the trick (I mean installed without failed deps):
rpm -Uvh g-wrap-1.3.4-0.pm.5.i586.rpm guile-1.6.2-15.i586.rpm 
openhbci-0.9.13-1.i586.suse82.rpm gnucash-docs-1.8.3-0.pm.0.i586.rpm 
gnucash-1.8.8-0.pm.6.i586.rpm

The order seems to be important in the sense that if the gnucash rpm is listed 
before the others, I get failed deps. I also had to remove existing SuSE 
stock gnucash, gnucash-docs and guile before this (I used YaST2 for this).

Started gnucash using /opt/gnome/bin/gnucash in a terminal and got:
ERROR: Could not find slib/require.scm in  ("/usr/share/guile" 
"/opt/gnome/share/gnucash/guile-modules" "/opt/gnome/share/gnucash/scm" "" 
"/usr/share/guile/site" "/usr/share/guile/1.6" "/usr/share/guile" ".")

Found a lot of scm files (Scheme?) under /opt/gnome/share/gnucash/scm, but no 
require.scm. Also, rpm -ql <package> | grep require.scm did not list 
require.scm as being part of any of gnucash, gnucash-docs, g-wrap, guile or 
gal. Uninstall - reinstall of gnucash using rpm -e / rpm -Uvh for gnucash and 
gnucash-docs did not help.

$rpm -q --whatprovides require.scm
no package provides require.scm

Finally found require.scm at /usr/share/slib and also realised this is from 
package slib. I have version 2d5 from SuSE 8.2 and upgraded to 3a1. It seems 
that moving the slib folder and contents to the gnucash scm folder will help. 
For example, creating a slib folder and copying require.scm into it results 
in a error message for mklibcat etc... but it is not a solution I like. 

Any further advise, please?

Thanks for all replies.
