Errors compiling Gnucash for Mac OSX

[Michael Jensen]

I think you hit it on the head with the installing things separately. 
I've had similar results with other installations/upgrades using Fink, 
and it seems easy to confuse it on the dependencies.
If I have an install problem, the first thing I try is to install each 
dependency separately.
I also just upgraded gnucash to 1.8.9-14, and it upgraded without a 
problem.
Thanks,
  MJ
