gnucash & OS X 10.4

[David Reiser]

Sure looks like dependency hell to me. We're past my level of  
understanding fink at this point, but I'll offer a few facts:

My system still has gal19-shlibs installed, along with gal21 and  
gal21-shlibs. I first built gnucash about a year ago, and gal19 and  
the corresponding shlibs file are what gnucash needed then.  
Apparently, a later upgrade to  gal21 didn't conflict with the old  
shlibs file.

Most of what I have in my fink tree is there because of gnucash, so  
old files laying around are probably from a gnucash build.

At this point, if you specifically install gal19-shlibs, fink might  
decide it conflicts with gal21 and remove those. Then you get to  
reinstall gal21 and hope the info file hasn't been updated to declare  
a conflict between the shlibs versions.

It could also be that you're seeing a conflict between old gnome  
components and Tiger that others haven't run into.

As I say, I really don't know what I'm talking about at this point,  
but if you do succeed at getting gnucash to build by having multiple  
gal shlibs installed, that's worth a note to the maintainer to try to  
iron out the dependency problem.
