Gnucash does not open anymore

[Xavier LAROSE]

The link on fink project did not help.
I did not know about Xquartz and I have found on : http://xquartz.macosforge.org/trac/wiki

nowLeopard Notice

1.6 contains version 2.3.4 of X11. Not surprisingly, this version lies  
between 2.3.3.2 and 2.4.0. It contains all the fixes that went into  
Xplugin, quartz-wm, and most of the server fixes, but it is still on  
the 1.4 server branch. Most of the userland libraries were updated to  
what was shipped in 2.4.0 with a few exceptions.

2.4.0 will not be released for SnowLeopard. 2.4.1 will be the first  
release that can be installed on SnowLeopard. There will be separate  
Leopard and SnowLeopard packages for 2.4.1 and later. On SnowLeopard,  
X11 will no longer install over the system's X11. It will install in  
its own prefix to allow side-by-side use with the Apple-provided X11.


Actually I have X11 2.3.4. Do you think it could work i I install  
2.4.0 now since I have not installed it before 10.6 ? Or it is better  
to delete the fink installation and starting over ?
