You're welcome.

It should in theory be possible to build a Gnucash 2.0 tarball with Gtk-OSX, though it would be a bit of work to get the right versions of all of the dependencies set up. It would probably be easier to do it in one of the more conservative Linux distros (RHEL 5 comes to mind...). You could use VMWare or Parallels to do it on a Mac.
