How to upgrade gnucash to 1.8.9 on OSX

[Michael Jensen]

Yes, you should use Source->Install. I have not seen a binary version 
available to Fink, mine always only has the source version there. It 
takes a bit longer to install as it needs to compile, but the end 
result is the same.

On the libwww & lwp-download, try separately un-installing them and 
re-installing them. Fink will complain, but you should be able to at 
least do a Source->Force Remove and pull the program/library off, them 
re-install them.

Hope this helps,
  MJ
