Hi John,

Using this .modules file:
https://github.com/Gnucash/gnucash-on-osx/blob/master/modulesets/gnucash.modules
It was not clear which module would satisfy the missing i386 libraries,
so I tried meta-gtk-osx-core, as that "sounded" right (LoL).
That did not work (`jhbuild build meta-gtk-osx-core`), ultimately
failing with the error: "Neither GTK+-2.0 nor GTK+-3.0 was found"
Before I go down the path of trying 2.7.1 -- would you clarify more
specifically what's meant by "there's a module for it in gnucash-on-
osx/modules, so just build it"?
Thanks!
Ed
