Help with OSX install or conversion from GNUCash to Quicken

[Nicolas Scheffer]

Hi,

To have Gnucash working on Mac OS X you should have :
- install fink, use unstable package trough fink config or finkcommander
- install Apple X11, then on Fink X11 for Apple X11 package or directly 
XFree if you prefer trough Fink
- then you will see under Fink GnuCash available, you just need to 
install it and accept to install all the dependencies

I also install it using the source install since the binarie install.

Regards

Nicolas
