I have, in theory, installed GnuCash 1.8 using fink into Mac OS X 10.3.
Owing to the fact that I cannot find the path to where the gnucash executable lives, I suspect that the installation has not been successful.
<AKH> There should have been an error message, then. Run "fink list gnucash" and see if it shows up as installed or not (an 'i' in front of the package name). If it isn't installed, then try to install it again, and if it fails post the error message.
There are several questions asked of me at the onset of the installation. Of which there are several disparate packages that may be selected. I can find no documentation that gives explicit detail as to which packages to select from the alternatives presented. As there would be 1000's of permutations of the various packages given the number of packages to select from, trial and error is not an option.
Therefore, can you point me to a FAQ which details this selection process?
<AKH> There's no such document. One basic item (that could go in the documents somewhere, when I figure out where I want it) is that when prompted whether to use an -ssl or non-ssl package, you should make the same choice consistently. For gnucash, that accounts for a few of the choices right there.
Also, assuming I have properly installed the GnuCash package (1.8), where is it?? Find file wont locate it. It is not in /sw/bin. There is no /opt directory... I am drawing a lot of blanks over here and have been trying to install this for a day and a half. It is now a battle of will.
Can you lend any advice or assitance?\
