Errors compiling Gnucash for Mac OSX

I hope I'm not going to confuse the issue more -- when I installed the 
binary gnucash 1.8.8 using fink (v. 0.7.0 under OS X 10.3.4), it worked 
first try (except that it came with an old version of libofx that 
didn't import for me).

When I tried using fink/unstable to compile gnucash 1.8.9-13 from 
source, I ran into problems with gal and oaf. So I just installed those 
separately and then did 'fink install gnucash'. I don't think I used a 
version number, and since I had the unstable tree enabled, which had a 
newer version number, the compile worked. I might have used a version 
number for gal, as in 'fink install gal21', since I had gal19 installed 
either as a result of the gnucash 1.8.8 install, or a twisted 
dependency in the compile files.
