Where is gnucash for OSX?

[Michael Jensen]

Try installing the dependencies in small groups manually. As Adrian 
wrote, it will install eventually, you just need to do a little 
thinking for it.

Try the install again, write down the dependencies fink complains 
about, and pick one or two and install them. If they don't install 
because of dependencies, then do the same for them. There won't be any 
extra stuff installed, it's just a bit harder. Do this until you have 
all the dependencies installed, then try installing gnucash again.

If you use (or will use) other X11 programs, you will probably need 
some of the same programs & libraries installed, so your work now is 
not just for gnucash.

The GnuCash Launcher applet from 
http://homepage.mac.com/elliottmce/gnucash_guide/applets.html is a 
great way to start the gnucash application after you have it working 
from the command line. Just remember that if you are having problems 
starting the program to try launching from the command line to see any 
errors that are being generated.
Hope this helps,
  MJ
