Is this fink packaging issue or should I advise the gnucash folks?
It appears that OS X 10.3 has control-center2-dev only at this time, yet gnucash explicitly requests control-center-dev. I assume you have that latter package laying around from "a while ago", which is why you were even able to get as far as you did in the compile process. One solution is to make the older control-center available, another is to have gnucash use the newer one. The latter is prefered obviously:)

Dan,
There is a control-center-dev in 10.3 [1], but the way that control-center2 was added to the tree was incorrect. When adding a new -dev, it should indeed specify Conflicts/Replaces the old -dev, however the older -dev should also be updated to conflicts/replaces the new one, this way they can be swapped in and out by dpkg. When control-center2 was added, the maintainer forgot to update the control-center pacakge. (maintainer CC'ed)
Gnucash is still a gnome-1.4 application, they are working hard on a gnome2 version, but it is taking time as there are very few developers and a lot of code, remember that it took almost 2 years to go from gnucash-1.6.0 to gnucash-1.8.0, and though there were a lot of changes between those two releases there are even more changes required to get things working with gnome2. It seems likely that gnucash-2.0 will be released within the next 12 months though.
I believe there are still quite a number of applications in fink which require gnome-1.4, these older -dev packages should be updated to properly conflict and replace the newer gnome2 ones.
Stephen,
As Alexander suggested, removing control-center2-dev and trying again should get you a working gnucash. Keep in mind that gnucash-1.8.10 is due in a couple of weeks, so you might want to skip compiling 1.8.8 :)
Thanks, Peter
