how to start on Leopard?

[David Reiser]

What kind of install/upgrade did you do for Leopard?

Did you rebuild gnucash after the install? (mine worked after an  
upgrade without rebuilding, once I got rid of some fontconfig stuff,  
but I guess I wouldn't count on that. I did end up wiping my disk and  
installing clean eventually -- I had the keychain problem that Apple  
says comes from keychains created before 10.2.8, so I decided to wipe  
out my legacy cruft.

Do you have remnants of something other than Apple's X11? Fink has  
chosen to support only the official Apple X11 for Leopard. It's built  
around X.org 7.2, so at least it's up to date finally. If you used one  
of the other x's, you should plan on cleaning it off and rebuilding  
against Apple's X11 (for which you'll need the X11SDK from the install  
DVD).
