Hmmm. I installed Christian's RPMs several months ago, so consequently
can't recall what specific RPMs I had to install, but I know I didn't
have any  particular issues. What dependencies does trying to install
gnucash-ofx display?

FYI, I have these gnucash* RPMs installed:

sempron:~ # rpm -qa | grep gnucash
gnucash-1.8.12-2
gnucash-ofx-1.8.12-2
gnucash-docs-1.8.5-1

I see these dependencies for the -ofx RPM (versions are what are on my
system - there may be later versions):

aqbanking-ofx-1.6.0beta-1.suse
glibc-2.3.5-40
glib-1.2.10-595
libofx-0.8.0-3
popt-1.7-221
libstdc++-4.0.2_20050901-3

Some of these you will pretty likely have (such as glibc). Install the
others and you should be up and running. 

If you can't find the RPMs (although Google should help), you may want
to install a package manager such as apt
(http://linux01.gwdg.de/apt4rpm/) or smart
(http://susewiki.org/index.php?title=Smart)

Both can provide access to multiple repositories for SUSE 10.0.
