It will start slowly the first time, there’s a problem with libguile finding its precompiled binaries in the bundle, but I’ll need help from the Guile folks to sort that out. It may take a couple of days, or it may take longer if there’s a guile bug.

It wasn’t working fine for me, and I found the problem. http://sourceforge.net/projects/gnucash/files/gnucash%20%28stable%29/2.6.5/Gnucash-Intel-2.6.5-3.dmg/download
is now available for the Intel users; I’ll get the PPC one up as soon as it finishes building and I test it. Should be later this afternoon (Cupertino Time).
