I had to work a little harder, but mine is working now too. Fink  
selfupdate (yet again) today netted a new version of fink that would  
go to a working mirror. Unfortunately, just 'fink update gnucash'  
didn't do the trick for me.

I did both an upgrade to Tiger (not clean or archive and install) and  
an in-place fink update. The result was that updating to  
gnucash-1.8.11-20 didn't get the gnome-libs or gtk+ updates installed  
before compiling gnucash. (I have let the maintainer know.)

Not knowing if it is completely necessary, I told fink to update  
gnome-libs, gnome-libs-dev, gnome-libs-shlibs, gtk+, gtk+-data, and  
gtk+-shlibs (older versions were in my old fink setup, so I just did  
'em all). After that, forcing a recompile of gnucash 1.8.11-20 seems  
to have worked fine.

Some of the gnucash dependencies were updated on my first attempt at  
updating gnucash. I don't know what the difference was.

I'm back in business and a happy camper.
