Sébastien Maret put together description files to build gnucash under Fink 
in August:

<http://fink.cvs.sourceforge.net/fink/experimental/bmaret/finkinfo/>

I was succesful in building it this way, but I couldn't get the online 
quotes to work.

I think Dave Reiser has been working on finishing it up.


Now a lot of the reason it's slow to arrive in Fink is because of the 
multi-tree setup, with crypto and experimental. Many of gnucash's 
dependencies are themselves stuck in experimental, so it's gonna be a while 
before a binary package is available.
You can help! You can do so by building the experimental packages and 
reporting on your success or lack thereof.


If you *really* need gnucash 2 *now*, building it in macports works very 
well. It takes no more than 1GB -- that's about a dollar worth of a laptop 
hard drive -- and it builds in less than 8 hours on my 4-year-old machine. 
I'm assuming you have the developer tools installed, because after all 
you're subscribed to the devel list...
