Gnucash mac os x and darwinport : error on start

[Doug Latornell]

I had the same problem (identical backtrace).  It is due to this bug
regarding the version of slib:
http://trac.macosforge.org/projects/macports/ticket/11017 (check the
backtrace there).  My reading of that bug report is that the port has been
fixed.  My problem was that I installed the day before, so I had slib 3a4.
You must have had that pre-existing too (or the port bug isn't really fixed,
or I misread its report, or...)

IIRC, I resolved it by:

sudo port deactivate slib
sudo port install slib @3a3
sudo port install gnucash

My memory is a little fuzzy on whether I had to uninstall gnucash, then
install again, or whether the above "just worked".
