Well you should try the following
Delete the rpm database then in a terminal as root
# rpm --rebuilddb
Check your filesystem. I have seen this problem before where ldconf -v will
see the file and the installer or compiler will not. It has happened in
every case I have seen with a corrupted Reiserfs. And no matter how robust
the filesystem is, there are circumstances which will prove disastrous to
one, such as a power failure during writing which might result in a runaway
drive processor.
There may be an unresolved glitch in dependencies though usually the QA
procedures nail them. In that case drop in the CD#1, boot and then select
"Expert" "Upgrade" and select no groups then go on to individual package
selection and toggle the list to alphabetical flat list, then scroll down to
gnucash and check it.
It may be that the deps list on the CD is corrupted or was unreadable in
part--that will discover the flaw.
I have used several 9.0 downloadable sets and I know gnucash is there and
dependencies are satisfied, because I load it in the packages list diskette I
always carry. Therefore we have one of the following problems:
1. depslist on CD not completely readable (low probability even considering
frequent media-vs-drive problems, cause the more likely outcome of this
problem is failure to install)
2. Filesystem corruption--particularly observable in version 8.0 using
Reiserfs where ldconfig -v would see a file and a compiler or make or rpm
would not.
3. rpm database corruption, resolved by rpm --rebuilddb IF you have it
loaded. Difficult if not (like fresh install time after moving any data you
want to keep to /home)
