I was able to obtain all other dependencies except for the following broken package error message.
Here is command trail of what I did.
linux:/home/lwgreen/MyDownloads # apt-get install gnucash-2.0.1-0.rauch.2.i686.rpm

Selecting gnucash for 'gnucash-2.0.1-0.rauch.2.i686.rpm'
Some packages could not be installed. This may mean that you have
requested an impossible situation or if you are using the unstable
distribution that some required packages have not yet been created
or been moved out of Incoming.
Since you only requested a single operation it is extremely likely that
the package is simply not installable and a bug report against
that package should be filed.
The following information may help to resolve the situation:
The following packages have unmet dependencies:
gnucash: Depends: libofx.so.2
E: Broken packages
The latest version of libofx I can find is 0.8.2-42.oc2pus.cvs20060826 but this does not satisfy the dependency.
I have also downloaded libofx-0.8.0-2.2.x86_64.rpm and tried to install but get the following apt error
When I try to install the libofx links I get the following message.
linux:/home/lwgreen/MyDownloads # apt install libofx-0.8.0-2.20060206.4AS.i386.rpm

E: Package libofx-0.8.0-2.20060206.4AS.i386.rpm is a virtual package with no good providers.
Same for libofx-0.8.0-2.20060206.4AS.i686.rpm
Same for libofx-0.8.0-2.20060206.4AS.athlon.rpm
I have downloaded libofx-0.8.2.tar from the site you suggested but have no idea how to use it? I cannot find an rpm or similar install.
unpack it with ark (right click choose extract,extract here.
from the command line cd to the directory that was just unpacked. read the readme or install files for instructions, it's usually ./configure, make, make install. most likely you don't have the compiler and development libraries installed (suse doesn't install them by default) so you will have to install them first
