I suspect RandomUser might be right, The failure to find open-file is
symptomatic of a deeper problem in slib. I know less than nothing
about slib configuration issues other than if the order is wrong, it
won't work. I know even less about rpm. so my only advise is to do
something like completely uninstall gnucash and as many of its
dependencies as you can to get down to the slib level and
reinstall. But who knows what all might depend on slib in your
system... that could be a pretty nasty process.
