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

Hello,

	I know this is of no direct help, but I just wanted to let you know  
that it is possible to run GNUCash on an Intel Mac.

	I have compiled and installed GNUCash 2.0.2 with GNUCash Docs 2.0.1  
on an Intel MacBook Pro running Tiger 10.4.8.  I used the  
instructions on the "http://captnswing.net/2006/07/10/ 
gnucash20_on_intel_macs.html" site as you have, but please ensure you  
read all the associated comments -- if you haven't already done so --  
as there are some useful tips contained there.

	For me, GNUCash works fine, and I have been progressively getting my  
accounts sorted.  However, two pieces of functionality aren't  
operating as expected.  I can't get Finance::Quote to update any  
currency conversion rates, and also as I had posted a couple of weeks  
ago, I can't get GNUCash Help to work from within GNUCash.  Those  
points asside, all the other functions of the application seem fine.

                                             Regards,

                                                            Peter.
