That version of gnucash is old, and has probably fallen out of sync with the listed dependencies. Gnucash 2 works ; but you're going to need a couple of updates to your Fink setup. Running the following two commands ought to get you to where you can install gnucash2: fink selfupdate --followed by-- fink selfupdate-rsync The first "selfupdate" will get you a newer "fink" tool that is able to use the rsync method to get source package descriptions--this was initially turned off for 10.5. After you've done this, you can run fink install gnucash2 and get a more recent gnucash to use. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by the Moblin Your Move Developer's challenge Build the coolest Linux based applications with Moblin SDK & win great prizes Grand prize is a trip for two to an Open Source event anywhere in the world http://moblin-contest.org/redirect.php?banner_id=100&url=/ _______________________________________________ Fink-devel mailing list Fink-devel@lists.sourceforge.net http://news.gmane.org/gmane.os.apple.fink.devel
