Hi,

I originally posted this to the GnuCash list, but it was suggested that I might get some more luck from this list.

Since this problem has nothing to do with gnucash yet, that's a good bet.

Would appreciate it if you could reply to this address, as I'm not a subscriber. Thanks.

I just moved to one of the new MacBooks and spent the afternoon trying to get Gnucash working on this machine. After lots of downloading and compiling, I eventually get to the following error:

Reading Package Lists...
Building Dependency Tree...
Failed: phase installing: fontconfig2-dev-2.4.1-104 failed

Before reporting any errors, please run "fink selfupdate" and
try again.  If you continue to have issues, please check to see if the
FAQ on fink's website solves the problem.

I tried the tip on running selfupdate, but after running the install again, I ran into the same error. I'm not really sure what this indicates, so any tips would be a great help. If it's any use, I've posted a bigger chunk of the output from the install below.

Thanks in advance.

Ben

Blame Apple for this one.

I'm assuming you've got Xcode 3.1.2, since you didn't provide that information. On that version of Xcode, Apple removed all of the .la (libtool archive) files from X11, which directly breaks this package.

There are a couple of options:

1) Roll your Xcode back to 3.1.1
2) Download the unoffiical X11 release (Xquartz) from macosforge.org, which still has these files.
