newbie installing gnucash on mac osx 10.3.6

[Mike Jensen]

Try
find / -name gnucash
That should tell you if it got installed and where it is.
You may want to doublecheck fink to see if it lists gnucash as current 
or archived. If it's just archived, you still need to install it. There 
are many levels of dependencies that you need, so if this was your 
first try, it doesn't surprise me that it took that long and still 
failed. Try installing each dependency separately.
There is also a web page at 
http://homepage.mac.com/elliottmce/gnucash_guide/applets.html that can 
help, as well as a few threads on the GnuCash mailing list. Try a 
search at https://lists.gnucash.org/search/?archive=gnucash-user
Hope this helps,
  MJ
