If you go to http://pdb.finkproject.org/pdb/package.php/gnucash2 and search for the gnucash2 package, you'll be redirected to http://pdb.finkproject.org/pdb/package.php/gnucash2 which will show you the the various combinations of OS X version, 'architecture', and stable vs. unstable. Please note that: * The stable tree, whose packages tend to be older than those in the unstable tree, has been verified with regard to successful builds on 10.6. Therefore if in the PDB there's no version number in the stable column for 10.6/i386 or 10.6/x86_64 then the package is known not to build on 10.6/i386 or 10.6/x86_64. * The unstable tree hasn't been completely verified. This means that the fact that a version number is shown on the unstable column and 10.6 rows doesn't imply that the package actually builds on 10.6. For the next weeks, only packages in stable that are available on 10.6/ i386 or 10.6/x86_64 can be expected to build. This doesn't mean that packages in unstable won't build, only that they might not. There are some cases where a package in stable doesn't build but it builds in unstable because unstable tends to have more recent versions. As for gnucash2 in particular, there is a report from a user that managed to build it on 10.6/x86_64 after some adversities with the fontconfig library: http://article.gmane.org/gmane.os.apple.fink.beginners/23547 Cheers, -- monipol http://finkers.wordpress.com Submitting a Fink bug report?
