New user attempting installation-dependencies

[Tom Capehart]

Dear List,

I'm a wannabee gnucash user but I am stymied during the installation by the 
20 or so dependencies that I am apparently missing.  I have recently 
installed RH Desktop 3.95 from downloaded cd's.  Can someone help me get 
past this obstacle?  I've used RH for some time but am not very experienced 
(as you can see) at installing applications.

If I can only get gnucash to work I can sever my relationship with Bill 
Gates once and for all!

Any help is most appreciated --- thanks in advance.

Tom
