All drivers are installed and according to pcsctest the reader is connected correctly. I am stuck at the following step: when trying to add the user in the aqbanking-setup, i click on type "chipcard" and immediatly the assistant disappears without any further options, warnings, errors. And of course, no user is added.

The easy way to find it is to run `find /var/folders -name gnucash.trace` on the command line. There's a lot of noise in that file, so it's easiest to re-do the attempt to set up the chipcard and then immediately `tail` the tracefile to see the most recent messages.

John,

It sounds like libchipcard isn't there: 
http://www2.aquamaniac.de/sites/download/download.php?package=02&release=25&file=01&dummy=libchipcard-5.0.1test.tar.gz

Several versions ago I couldn't get it to build on the mac, I didn't have any way to test it, and no one was complaining. So it has never been available to the fink versions of aqbanking.  IIRC, I did succeed in building one of the recent versions. But still with no way to test it, I didn't pursue it.
