OK Some helpful folks have tried to help with this. I am trying to
install GnuCash. Everything, xDarwin, Java dev tools, everything that
everyone ahs said has been done.
Nothing fixes the issue. I am just darn frustrated. To date, not one
thing has successfully installed through Fink Commander. I think the
whole thing is myth, but some folks purport to have actually installed
things with it.
Now then... I am pretty dang frustrated. Hate to say it, but truth is
truth.
I have read the FAQ's. I have gotten tons of helpful advice. I just
want someone to admit that GnuCash just does not work on Mac, then i
will quietly go away and go on and buy someting from the store. If it
does work, will someone PLEASE HELP?
Thanks,. Now then. I run the binary install from the coomander..
Here is the errors in the terminal screen... Let me know your
thoughts.. thanks.
And no, I dont have a clue as to how to write a script to load a
makefile. It seems like every package is absolutely different from the
next. I can config routers and sell real estate. I am not a developer
and dont have a clue as to the proper syntax to eek out a workable
makefile to compile the source on my Mac OsX 10.3
Embarrasing, maybe, but again, the truth is the truth.
Any help is appreaciated. And if you live in Atlanta there is beer and
pizza if you can solve this.
