"gnucash2-" is really gnucash2-shlibs, but your fink commander columns  
are too narrow. You're going to need gnucash2 as well as gnucash2- 
shlibs, and gnucash2 installations force the installation of the - 
shlibs file if it isn't already there. So just worry about installing  
gnucash2.

I'd just use a plain Terminal window and type in

fink install gnucash2

Despite the fact that tetex-base failed on your last pass, it might  
work running the install again. But if it fails, then the error  
message I need to see is a ways above what you included in the  
screenshot -- after the last compiler command (line starts with  
"gcc ...").

The other option is to just install tetex first:

fink install tetex-base

and deal with errors there before running 'fink install gnucash2' again.

While I'm the gnucash2 maintainer in Fink, you can get help from a lot  
of folks, many much more knowledgeable about fink package  
installations than I am, on the fink-beginners mailing list.
