In fink the current version of aqbanking is aqbanking16 (it has been  
declared that the suffix number in a library package is to reflect  
the library compatibility version...) and it is version 2.2.6. Be  
sure to have the crypto branch active, or you might not see it.

I do have it running on my mac (OS X 10.4.8 PPC). I just ran through  
the HBCI setup to trigger the Aqbanking wizard, and that also seems  
to work properly for me (though I didn't test it much tonight). FTR,  
I am also running qt3-3.3.7-1022. The wizard also worked for me in  
most (maybe all) of fink's qt3-3.3.6 incarnations. I'm testing  
against gnucash 2.0.4, though earlier 2.0.x versions have worked for  
me. I also run gnucash trunk against newer aqbanking/ofx (except now  
because aqbanking svn doesn't like libofx cvs much...)

I've been using aqbanking for a long time, so maybe there's a first- 
time-run glitch?

I have the (mis?)fortune of being the fink maintainer for gnucash2  
and most of it's non-gnome dependencies. But I can only test on a  
ppc, since I don't have an intel mac.

Be careful of trying to run both macports and fink - they can get in  
each others' way.

Today I saw a message on the macports list that a recent batch of  
updates has wreaked havoc on some of the gnome libraries. A fix is  
expected this week.
