David & all,

Please disregard my previous email below as I relaunched the sudo port install gnucash command about more 2X and it finally completed.  Woo Hoo.  

Hopefully it will run.

David and Derek -- thanks for all the help.  

Regards.

David,

After trying to install gnuCash via macports again I just got the following error, any suggestions or direction would be greatly appreciated:

You must install or activate this package with '-f' (force) as it needs to overwrite files installed by the perl5.8 port

David,

I went back to the fix command for gtk2 and it worked just fine.  I've gone back to the macports install just because it seemed a lot cleaner and more polished install.  My perspective may be incorrect but that is my perspective.

Thank so much again.  Hopefully this install will now proceed without incident.

Regards.

I'm almost positive you will run into exactly the same error with the fink build -- this is an Apple induced error.

The same perl command should work to fix the fink build. 


Now I recommend that you run the x11 patch, then rerun 'fink install gnucash2' so that you're attempting to complete the most recent effort.

David and Derek,

Thanks so much for all the help.  I am in the middle of going down the path of the fink installation.  gnuCash currently is in the middle of its install.

If this does not work I'll try David's suggestion.  As I stated previously, I'm new to the mac environment coming from  the window environment and this seems like a lot of work to install one program.  But I guess I'm spoiled.

Thanks again for your time and help.  Hopefully the gnuCash install from the fink package will be successful.

Regards.

This is a bug in Apple's X11 implementation. They're moving to xorg's  
X11, but they screwed up for machines that have never had 10.5 earlier  
than 10.5.2.

One of fink's x11 experts says that the command:

sudo perl -pi.bak -e 's|2.0.0|2.1.0|' /usr/X11/lib/libXrandr.la

from a terminal window should fix it. (Only have to do this once,  
unless Apple breaks it again with 10.5.3.)

Also, it looks to me like Macports has fixed the guile/slib issues  
with their gnucash portfile. So, since you already have the macports  
infrastructure in place, I'd recommend you try the X11 patch, and then  
reissue the macports install command for gnucash.

If you do choose to try fink's gnucash package, it's package name is  
gnucash2. But one still launches it with just 'gnucash' in a terminal  
window.

Fink's gnucash2-docs package (the help files) does not work at the  
moment because of a gnome version mismatch problem with yelp (gnome's  
help system).
