And unfortunately, you can't use the tarball of slib.  The RPM database won't 
know that it is there.  You would need to compile GnuCash from source, which 
isn't really that difficult, just there are a lot of dependencies; you need the 
-devel version of every library.

I notice that Suse have an SRC RPM of slib-3b1.  I have occasionally created 
my own RPM for Mandriva from that, but  I would be happier with one for 
Fedora.  Fedora 9 have a noarch.rpm listed on rpm.pbone.net.  That just might 
work.

HTH,

Doug,
running Mandriva 2009.1 with Gnucash-2.3.2 compiled from source.
