Wow. I wish I knew how you got 1.8.12 to work reliably. Sometimes it  
does, and sometimes it doesn't. Are you using an Intel Mac?

The real reason I'd like to know is to find out whether I ought to  
kill the 1.8.12 version in fink completely. It is three years out-of- 
date, and you can no longer move back and forth between the 1.8 and  
2.2.x versions without wrestling with the data file. (You can go once  
pretty easily from 1.8 to 2.2, but going back to 1.8 with a 2.2  
modified data file is so much work, it isn't worth it.)

In fink these days, you want to 'fink install gnucash2' to get the  
currently active version.
