Thanks for letting us know. I've got r11855 running on my iBook now - the 
problems were all about the environment variables and other hoops required to 
actually build and run the program.

Just for future reference, it'd be nice if you could detail the commands you 
gave to ./autogen.sh and/or ./configure (depending on the revision) and the 
commands / environment variables you need to build and run G2.

To build, I use:
guile16-build env LIBRARY_PATH=/sw/lib CPATH=/sw/include \
./autogen.sh
guile16-build env LIBRARY_PATH=/sw/lib CPATH=/sw/include \
./configure --enable-doxygen --enable-opt-style-install \ 
--prefix=/opt/fergus/gncuash
guile16-build env LIBRARY_PATH=/sw/lib CPATH=/sw/include \
make

I've also had to change my PATH in ~/.bashrc to
PATH=/sw/bin/:/usr/bin:/sbin:/usr/sbin:/bin

Then to run, I need:
#!/bin/bash
cd /opt/fergus/gnucash/bin
export LANG=en_GB
./gnucash

(this despite LANG=en_GB in every other xterm or shell). Simply running 
gnucash direct lumps me into US Dollar.

At some point, I need to a) update the tree b) reinstall the auto tools 
required to update the 1.8 tree and test again.

One difference, on Debian I get account balances in the summary window as 
£1,439.56. On OSX, I only get GBP 1,439.56. What do you get on OSX? Anyone 
know why? I'd certainly prefer to have £ on OSX.

Interesting - I'll look at that.

1. Peter hasn't had problems on 10.4 like I have on 10.3
2. Do you have gnucash1.8 still installed?

I've always suspected most of my problems are down to the need to retain 
gnucash1.8 but then this will be a common upgrade path when G2 is finally 
released - I'm hoping we don't have to conflict with things like automake1.4
