Error installing gnucash2.2.8 on Mac OS X 10.5.6 (Intel)

[Tom Carroll]

I tried that and it said dbus was already running so I used the unload
command and then tried loading it again.  Same results as before.

I am thinking it may have something to do with having X11 already installed
on the machine to run Gimp.  I was thinking of uninstalling the Quartz
version when I get some time and reinstalling the X11 version.

Thanks for the reply.

Tom
