http://pdb.finkproject.org/pdb/package.php/gnucash2 shows _no_ entries in the "binary distribution" column, so why would you think there was a binary for it, for _any_ system? There are no official binaries for packages in the unstable tree. We last made a binary distribution shortly after Intel Macs were released, and there have been a lot of updates and new packages since then. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.6 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iD8DBQFHbR1rB8UpO3rKjQ8RAqloAJ4vRSrrtYf2soVtUE9UDmNp3/+ODwCbBUnj cjjDCkXIRbchzdLed14SYmo= =wVCA -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Microsoft Defy all challenges.
