Install problems on Intel MacBook Pro running Leopard

[David Reiser]

Having gnucash in /sw indicates you used fink to install gnucash. Did  
you have fink install the package 'gnucash2' or 'gnucash'? In fink,  
gnucash is version 1.8.12 and gnucash2 is version 2.2.8. Both programs  
are launched with the same command ('gnucash' or '/sw/bin/gnucash').

Some people are able to run gnucash 1.8.12 on an Intel Mac running  
Leopard. Some aren't. If I'm remembering correctly, the errors you're  
seeing are from one of the ancient gnome packages having trouble on  
new Macs.

If you did install just gnucash, then you can get the current version  
by 'fink install gnucash2'. It will replace the old version.
