Finally I can find fink's site, no thanks to charter cable--or whomever
is responsible for cutting off much of the net from charter subscribers.

10.2.8, IIRC. As I had no info at all any info would have been most
useful. And it was.

After downgrading to 0.6.3 things seem to work a whole lot better and
the package list is up to 1537 items.

Unfortunately gnucash fails to compile & install for failed
dependencies, in part due to missing packages which fink cannot find.
A quick check of dependencies v. installed stuff indicates I have at
least a week's worth of work, doing updates, builds and installs to get
to where gnucash can successfully build. That's provided I can find
everything that fink cannot.
A real binary would be really nice...
A current faq would also be nice. In a very obvious place, even.
Thanks for the info & help...
