I'm not really sure gnucash 1.8.x works on intel macs. At this step I
suggest 'fink install gnucash2'
I have run gnucash2-2.2.0 on a macbook pro, so it can work. (But I'm
the maintainer of the 2.x series, so my vote only counts for 1/2)

You may need to make sure any of the files created when you tried
building gnucash from source are deleted (or at least not in your Path).
Building gnucash 2.2 or more recent requires swig, an extra guile
incantation, and a few other things, so unless you really get in a
bind, that probably isn't the way to go.
