A straightforward substitution of the fink libs '/sw/lib' for '/opt/ 
local/lib' doesn't work for me.

I have never managed to get make check to work on my mac. With  
yesterday's trunk, it fails in test-lots at
OTHER <gnc.lots> [xaccSplitAssignToLot()] Failed to split into two!

The resolution of the thread mentioned above was to remove the sed  
patch pogma mentioned late in the thread.

The fink wizards are unanimous in warning that DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH  
should be avoided if at all possible. It doesn't do the same thing in  
OS X that it does in Linux, and frequently gets in the way on the Mac.  
DYLD_FALLBACK_LIBRARY_PATH is generally recommended as 'doing what you  
want'. While trunk builds for me without the substitution, for the  
fink I have to replace all of the DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH instances with  
DYLD_FALLBACK_LIBRARY_PATH or gnucash won't build. Fink almost wipes  
your environment before it builds, so something gets out of whack in  
that  step. Doing that substitution in trunk does not solve my make  
check problem.
