trying to install GnuCash 2.0.0 on a Mac Intel/OSX, (Tiger)

[Jed Diem]

Dave,

Installing goffice as you suggested and recompiling gnucash 2.0.2 worked.

I got the goffice.info and goffice.patch  from  
> https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=414256&aid=1592732&group_id=17203

They are for goffice_2.0.2-4. 

"fink install goffice" had a  difficult time finding  goffice_2.0.2-4.   
I had to keep trying other mirrors.   Option 5 (I forget what it is) in 
the fink alternative mirror list  finally worked.

Should I look around for goffice_0.3.x, install it and recompile gnucash 
2.0.2?  Having been successful with 0.2.x,  I'm inclined not to.


Thanks,

--jed
