Guppi is a graphics engine.  You can build gnucash without without
it, but then you wont get any graphs.

I suspect that SuSE includes Guppi inside the gnucash package, as
nothing else uses it.

Maybe.  I dont know.  I dont use SuSE -- maybe someone else who does
can answer the question.  One thing you can try is:

   rpm -ql gnucash | grep -i guppi

(replace 'gnucash' with each of the various gnucash packages you have
installed).

See if they ship a libguppi.  If they do, then I don't know what to
tell you.
