New Mac OSX rookie

[Perry Smith]

Hi,

I am attempting to get GNUCash up on Mac OSX.  I looked at the archive 
of this list and there are only two hits for "mac osx".  I've started a 
VERY rough journal of my adventures of trying to get GNUCash to compile 
on the Mac.  You can see my adventures here:

I am hoping to keep the journal and eventually clean it up so that 
other Mac users can follow my footsteps.  But if someone else has 
already done this, I'm happy to follow them.  I may, in fact, start 
completely over from scratch.  I spent a weekend about a month ago on 
this.  At that time, the GNUCash mailing lists had a message that said 
the lists were broken.  I was doing my work without CVS or fink.  It 
may be much easier to use both of those in the process.

My goal is to move GNUCash towards business applications.  I need 
payroll and inventory.  So far, I have not seen those listed on the 
features.  I am curious first to see if GNUCash is closer to a real 
accounting system or if it follows too closely in Quicken's footsteps.  
I'm planning on using the DB backend.  I even have fantasies of hooking 
all this up to a web based store to sell my photography.

So... in short, if anyone can help me with bring up of GNUCash on Mac 
OSX, I would love to hear from them.

Thank you,
Perry Smith
