I'm starting to install version 1.3.100 on SuSE Linux.

First, I notice I don't have g-wrap.  Unless I am mistaken, this package
does not appear in either the SuSE 6.3 or 6.4 distribution.
I download g-wrap-0.9.1-1.i386.rpm from the gnucash web site.

I rpm -i --test g-wrap-0.9.1-1.i386.rpm, and am told:

error: failed dependencies:
        guile-devel is needed by g-wrap-0.9.1-1
        libguile.so.4 is needed by g-wrap-0.9.1-1
        libreadline.so.3 is needed by g-wrap-0.9.1-1       
 

I look for them:
        guile-devel
                I did not find guile-devel in SuSE.
                I did find a package called guile,
                        which does contain a lot of .h files.
                        Are these the files I need?
        libguile.so.4
                Package guile contains a libraries
                        usr/lib/libguile.so
                        usr/lib/libguile.so.6
                        usr/lib/libguile.so.6.0.0
                Is this a problem?
        libreadline.so.3
                I appear to have a library
                        /usr/lib/libreadline.a
                This will probably not do.

Any suggestions?

I could try to compile g-wrap myself, but its documentation
does not make it clear that I can control where it places all its files.
(nor is it clear I can uninstall cleanly -- anybodu know?)
I do *not* want components I compile myself getting mixed up with
the ones installed by RPMs.  It's too hard to track them down during
reinstallation or upgrade.
