I used the same autogen command and:

guile16-build env LIBRARY_PATH=/sw/lib CPATH=/sw/include ./configure  
--enable-maintainer-mode --enable-error-on-warning --enable-compile- 
warnings --enable-opt-style-install --prefix=/opt/gnc-g2-unstable -- 
enable-debug --enable-etags --enable-ofx --with-ofx-prefix=/opt/libofx

Does --enable-doxygen have to be used for the help system to work?

I don't need the env commands when I 'sudo make install' do I?

Fink already 'fixed' my path for me a long time ago -- PATH=/sw/bin:/ 
sw/sbin...

I have no clue if this will work, but try export LC_MONETARY=en_GB.  
If I use LANG=en_US, I don't get either dollar signs or commas at the  
thousands. But if I set LC_MONETARY to en_US, I get $ and commas.

Yes. 1.8.11 is still installed, and it hasn't given me any problems.

gnc-g2 complains when I start:

initializing gnc_html...
gnucash: [W] "failure loading ""/Users/dbr/.gnucash/config-1.8.auto"
gnucash: [W] "report-menu-setup"
Use of deprecated SAXv1 function getLineNumber

but that looks like warnings only.
