The problem is that the gnucash RPM is based on a RH6 system and is
built against GLibc 2.1. That means it wont work on a RH 5.x system.
You can build it yourself, or you can find a friend to build it for
you. FWIW, I was able to use all the supplied RPMS except for guile
(I had to rebuild the guile RPM for RH 5.x) to build GnuCash.
If people want, I can supply the appropriate guile RPMs, and the list
of other RPMs that I used.. And I can even build a GnuCash RPM for RH
5.x if someone would give me the Spec File.
