Startup Errors [was [Fink-beginners] Problems with Gnucash through Fink]

[David Patrick]

Updated the thread over on the Fink mailing list - I wonder if anyone  
can help me on here.

It is frustrating - I am sure it is a simple problem, but I don;t know  
where to start looking for a solution.

Cheers,
David
