Thanks! Looks like it's working. It appears to have installed the G2 CVS 
branch of Gnucash just fine.

$ rpm -q gnucashG2
gnucashG2-2.0.20041031-1

Now I just gotta set up a script to update, compile and install 
kmymoney2 from CVS, using this patched-for-FC2 checkinstall. (I 
installed it from your RPM, BTW).
