Installing GnuCash 2.0 on FC5

[Derek Atkins]

Is this a fully up-to-date FC5?  The mesage below implies that
slib is already installed.  But if guile isn't finding it, then
you've got other problems.   What errors did you get when yum
tried to install guile?  Those errors might be important.

What do you get from:

  ls -l /usr/share/guile

-derek
