Hi,

Gnucash does not need libgal, directly, but only indirectly,
through gtkhtml.  So you really need to install the version 
that gtkhtml needs.

Does fink have the program ldd?  It might let you work out who
depends on what and work top-down during your installs:

e.g. on my (non-mac) system:

ldd libgtkhtml.so
        libgal.so.23 => /usr/lib/libgal.so.23 (0x4008f000)
        libgnomeprint.so.15 => /usr/lib/libgnomeprint.so.15 (0x40188000)
        libfreetype.so.6 => /usr/lib/libfreetype.so.6 (0x405e3000)
        libgnomecanvaspixbuf.so.1 => /usr/lib/libgnomecanvaspixbuf.so.1
(0x4064f000)
        libbonobo.so.2 => /usr/lib/libbonobo.so.2 (0x40653000)
[snip]
those are some of my library dependencies....
