Errors compiling Gnucash for Mac OSX

[Michael Jensen]

Try this:

#!/bin/sh
open /Applications/XDarwin.app
/sw/bin/gnucash &

You need to make sure X is running, and you are running gnucash in X 
(the open command does both). This works for me from the OSX Terminal 
app, and I've made an icon on my desktop for it too.
Hope this helps,
  MJ
