New gnucash Mac OSX binaries fail to start

[David T.]

I didn't bother with the command line; I just dragged the .app into Applications, and then double clicked the icon there, and it fired up just fine.

I will note that I already have Gnucash installed via Fink, and therefore a data file and all the preferences; I wonder whether the binary needs these things to exist before it will work. I'm just guessing here. Another thing to guess about: I notice a lot of references to /opt, and wonder if there might be conflict with a MacPorts Gnucash installation (if you had one).

Finally, I will note that the first time I fired up the binary, it asked for my admin password. Is that really necessary?
