Installing GnuCash 2.0 on FC5

It should be a fully installed FC5. I didn't do anything special during
the install.

I don't remember any errors installing guile. But I did try to install
guile-1.8.0. I think somewhere along the line I got an error message
telling me that GnuCash needed a later version of guile. I don't
remember any error messages that I got during the install. I can repeat
the rpm -Uvh for guile-1.8.0 again if you think it would help.
