Hello List,

I have trying to install gnucash on FC5 for the last 4 days. The
problems and difficulties have been numerous, and their resolution has
not been successful. A developer suggested I try this mailing list. 
So here's what I've done already.

I have downloaded the rpm files from
http://people.redhat.com/notting/gnucash/2.0/FC5/i386
for
  1. aqbanking-2.1.0-1.fc5.i386 & aqbanking-devel-2.1.0-1.fc5.i386.rpm
  2. gwenhywfar-2.3.0-1.fc5.i386.rpm & gwenhywfar-2.3.0-1.fc5.i386.rpm
  3. gnucash-2.0.1-4.fc5.i386.rpm
and I have done -rpm Uvh for #1 & 2 with no errors.

Now when I do rpm for #3 I get:
[root at localhost ~]# rpm -Uvh /packages/gnucash-2.0.1-4.fc5.i386.rpm
warning: /packages/gnucash-2.0.1-4.fc5.i386.rpm: Header V3 DSA
signature: NOKEY, key ID db2f3c83
error: Failed dependencies:
        libguile-ltdl.so.1 is needed by gnucash-2.0.1-4.fc5.i386
        libguile.so.12 is needed by gnucash-2.0.1-4.fc5.i386
        libqthreads.so.12 is needed by gnucash-2.0.1-4.fc5.i386
[root at localhost ~]#

So I did a find on the files, an lo and behold, they're on my system.

[root at localhost /]# find -noleaf -name libguile-ltdl.so.1
find: ./proc/2250/task: No such file or directory
find: ./proc/2250/fd: No such file or directory
./usr/lib/libguile-ltdl.so.1

[root at localhost /]# find -noleaf -name libguile.so.12
find: ./proc/2250/task: No such file or directory
find: ./proc/2250/fd: No such file or directory
./usr/lib/libguile.so.12

[root at localhost /]# find -noleaf -name libqthreads.so.12
find: ./proc/2250/task: No such file or directory
find: ./proc/2250/fd: No such file or directory
./usr/lib/libqthreads.so.12
[root at localhost /]#

Trying to find out what packages to update I did an rpm -qf for the
files and I get a message that says these guys don't belong to any
package.

[root at localhost /]# rpm -qf ./usr/lib/libguile-ltdl.so.1
file /usr/lib/libguile-ltdl.so.1 is not owned by any package

[root at localhost /]# rpm -qf ./usr/lib/libguile.so.12
file /usr/lib/libguile.so.12 is not owned by any package

[root at localhost /]# rpm -qf ./usr/lib/libqthreads.so.12
file /usr/lib/libqthreads.so.12 is not owned by any package
[root at localhost /]#

Can anybody tell me what I need to do to resolve the failed
dependencies? I'm at a complete loss as to what to do next.

Thanks, George
