Do you also have guile16-dev and guile16-shlibs installed?

I admit to being confused about g-wrap. I thought I'd heard that g- 
wrap 1.3.4 wouldn't compile in gcc 4. But there is no gcc 3.anything  
for intel macs, yet the experimental gnucash.info file for 2.0.0 and  
2.0.1 succeeds using the current fink installed version of g-wrap 1.3.4!

And g-wrap 1.9.6 won't compile on Intel Macs because the libffi  
included in the g-wrap tarball won't compile.

You might try going ahead with the fink version of g-wrap 1.3.4 in  
the 10.4 tree and seeing if it works.
