Installing GnuCash 2.0 on FC5

Did the yum localinstall. The install reported an error trying to unpack
the CPIO module in GUILE. But the final message said GnuCash was
installed.

Now if I try to start GnuCash from Applications->Office->GnuCash I see
on the bottom of my screen "starting GnuCash", then I get a splash
screen and the it goes away. If I start GnuCash from a terminal window I
get the following output:

[bbg at localhost ~]$ gnucash
ERROR: Could not find slib/require.scm in  ("/usr/share/guile/site"
"/usr/share/gnucash/guile-modules" "/usr/share/gnucash/scm" ""
"/usr/share/guile/site" "/usr/share/guile/1.6" "/usr/share/guile" ".")
[bbg at localhost ~]$

I been here before. This error message is the reason I tried to download
the 2.0 version. So what do I do now?
