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

[Dave Reiser]

Jed,

It's good to hear gnucash is working.

I've been thinking about this a bit more. Unfortunately, that package 
really ought to be named libgoffice instead of goffice. Rats. For now, 
don't mess with what works. When the dust settles in fink, remove 
goffice and install the properly named version of the library and 
recompile gnucash (again using the info file that finally makes it into 
unstable) so that in the future upgrades will be smooth.

Did you have a version of libgsf installed in fink before your problems 
started?
