Pb in installing gnucash

Tue Jun 2 14:15:01 EDT 2009

I have tried to instal "gnucash2" or "gnucash2-" with the command  
"instal package from source" and i has failed (see message in the  
attached capture "fink failure tetex base") either with tetex base or  
with 2 of three other proposals made at the beginning (cf. capture  
attached "fink options").
Would you have another way of instal gnucash2 ?

Thank you for your answer

Xavier
