Sorry about the problems you've been having. The rpms on the gnucash
website were created for RedHat 6.2, which uses guile-1.3, not guile-1.3.4.
However, Scott Haug has graciously created a guile rpm for Mandrake that
creates the needed .so links, but still uses guile-1.3.4 so you don't break
other dependencies. It is available at:
ftp://ftp.gnucash.org/pub/gnucash/redhat-6.x/upgrade/
You'll want to get the guile*mdk*.rpm.
thanks,
dave
