libguile.so.3 is available as part of guile[something].rpm
The only one that I've found with subversion 3 (versus .so.2 or .so.4)
is
guile-core-19980806-2.rpm
which can be found at http://rpmfind.net
libXm.so.1 is the library for Motif 1.x. This can be gotten either by:
a) Installing Motif 1.2, which may cost you something to obtain :-(, or
b) Installing Lesstif
I have the following installed:
lesstif-0.87.0-1
lesstif-devel-0.87.0-1
Unfortunately, when I try to run gnucash based on this, I get:
gnucash: error in loading shared libraries: /usr/X11R6/lib/libXmHTML.so.1.1: undefined
symbol: XmeDrawShadows
(Cool! I asked vi to run it, and got the exact error message!)
And in looking at this again, it seems that what I've got that's not
right seems to be a problem in libXmHTML, when I'd "brain-farted" and
thought it was a problem with Lesstif.
Apparently we may wind up indirectly helping one another here...
