trying to install GnuCash 2.0.0 on a Mac Intel/OSX (Tiger)

[Clint & Jennifer Herron]

Hi, sorry for not cc'ing the group.  Thanks for the reminder.

If I'm not mistaken, section 1 of the wiki is PPC instructions, and
section 2, which you can see is very short, is the section for Intel
instructions and directs readers to the captnswing site.

I am thinking of editing the wiki to say something other than "As of
August 2006, Gnucash 2 works fine on Intel Macs."  I don't know about
others, but as of 11/14/06, gnucash-2.0 *does not* work fine on this
Intel Mac.  I can't think of a nice way to say it right now, as I am
pretty frustrated by the whole business.

I really like gnuCash and hope to find a way to continue using it on
this computer. Since I haven't been able to update my books for a week
now, I imported my gnuCash file into jGnash, and I was not incredibly
impressed. I'm sure I could get used to it if I *had* to, but I'd
really much rather use gnuCash.

Thanks!
