My first couple tries at "fink install gnucash" gave me errors, but 
only after crunching for quite a long time. So, rather than try in vain 
to install in one fell swoop again, I broke the install down into 
pieces by following the "Software Dependencies" page (http://
www.gnucash.org/en/required.phtml). I went down the list installing 
them one-by-one (e.g. installing guile, glide, gtkHTML, guppi, &c). 
Since some of the packages are quite large and/or have many 
dependencies themselves, I could more easily manage it if something 
broke or hung during compilation. Successfully got 1.8.4 running, and 
have have since upgraded to 1.8.5, on a iBook 800 w/10.2.6.

Hope you can get it working all right. It is a fine piece of software.
