But it *does* affect GNUCash - you can't install it without Gwenhywar. At
least I couldn't...

@Meghan: If none of the other advice does it for you, try 'sudo port upgrade
gnucash' and let us know the output. Probably you got some errors in the
orginal install and it never even got installed.

(BTW, what were they thinking when they named that package 'Gwenhywfar'?)
