gnucash and Mac OS X 10.4

[Howard Kim]

   Hello Francisco,

   My strategy for compiling gnucash has always been to update all  
the dependencies first and then install gnucash.  That has always  
worked for me.

   Since you already blew away your /sw directory, I would try the  
following:

1. Tell fink to install gnucash.
2. When fink gives you the list of dependencies that need to be  
installed as well, say no.
3. Take note of all the dependencies and install them first.  I tend  
to install them in chunks starting with perllibs, then libs and  
lastly gnome.  This method takes longer, but makes the install smoother.
4. When all the dependencies are done, install gnucash.  It should  
not list any dependencies since they are all done.

   Hope that helps.  Good luck.

   Howard
