I'm attempting to install the current stable GnuCash on a MacBook running
Leopard (OSX 10.5).
Leopard was installed as an update, which left previous files in place,
including gnucash 2.0.4. GnuCash is a mission critical application. Since I
had much trouble trying to get it back up on the MacBook, I installed it
(without problems) on a Dell running Win-XP. But my primary computer is the
Mac, so I'm still trying to get it to run on the MacBook.
I'm seriously frustrated. USING gnucash has been effective, but MAINTAINING
it, with my limited skills, has been awful.
An aside: we could sure use a pre-compiled Mac binary.
After much frustration, I decided to clean house and reinstall. The
subsequent install also failed.
Can I get some help, please?
So far, I have done the following:
1. deleted the entire Fink structure (/sw, which I wasn't using anyway)
2. deleted the entire MacPorts structure (/opt, including gnucash)
3. reviewed install instructions including
http://wiki.gnucash.org/wiki/MacOSX/MacPortsDetail
4. installed additional developer tools, including the X11 SDK
5. downloaded and installed a new version of MacPorts (1.520)
6. sudo ports selfupdate
7. sudo port install gnucash (gnucash 2.2.1, Revision 2,)
Install quit while building tiff-3.8.2

After this install attempt, MacPorts reported
bash-$ port installed
