gnucash on mac os x

[Alok Saldanha]

Hi all,

I'm all set now. It took like 10 hours, but it's installed! I've been 
doing a lot of programming, so I had already had the developer stuff. I 
just needed to get fink, figure out how to install the unstable stuff, 
and type "fink install gnucash".

Thanks for your help,
Alok
