gnucash 1.8 on a mac

[Derek Atkins]

Hi,

Please remember to CC gnucash-user on all replies!

Having said that..   Can you show $PATH from the xterm?
I'd like to see:

   echo $PATH
   gnucash

from a single shell..

Also, what do you get from:

  ls -l /sw/bin/gnucash

-derek

PS: Replies back to the list!
