I don't get the "Don't have write access to /Library" error (OS X 
10.8.2, Gnucash 2.4.11), whether the account file exists or not.

The "DYLD_ environment variables being ignored" warning is innocuous in 
this case (it's a protection against someone hacking the system by 
having a setuid program execute using potentially non-safe dynamic 
libraries, which someone might have put *any* sort of operations in).
