That was 0.40.2, now it's 0.40.3.

All files where there afaik. Here is list of files in that rpm:
http://rpmfind.net//linux/RPM/PLD/dists/ra/PLD/i686/PLD/RPMS/Guppi-0.40.2-5.i686.html

Same prefix (/usr/X11R6). Always used in rpm %configure macro.

Build with gnumeric support.

Now I installed gnumeric-1.0.3, and then Guppi 0.40.3.

Simple test, run gnumeric -> insert -> graph and gnumeric segfaults

[misiek arm misiek]$ gnumeric

Another test... spreadsheed created under excel with graphs:

and I see everything besides graphs ;\

Unfortunately my gnumeric and guppi are stripped so I can't debug them
at this moment.
