I (and I believe a few other people) do have completely functional
gnucash installs on Tiger, so there may be something in your setup
that still isn't quite right. I know that I can *definitely* TAB
between fields in the register. I do know that I ended up
rebuilding most, if not all, of the gnome1 gnucash dependencies in
the process of getting it running on Tiger, so that may be part of
the issue. If you haven't checked already, you might want to see
if any of the dependency file dates predate your Tiger install and
do a 'fink rebuild' on those (although it is somewhat of a shot in
the dark).
As far as taking forever to load, I've noticed that as well;
someone pointed out that updating the prebinding can help matters
greatly (in <https://lists.gnucash.org/pipermail/gnucash-user/2005-
May/013915.html>, on the gnucash-users list); you might want to try:
$ sudo update_prebinding -files /sw/lib/*
and
$ sudo update_prebinding -files /sw/bin/*
to improve startup speed a bit.
Thank you very much. However, updating prebinding did not help at
all. Michele's advice about using dynamic library fallback did not
help, either. It is guile16 that gets stuck, sometimes forever. I did
rebuild gnucash after I had updated all the gnome components that
fink was reporting to be outdated. But, these were obviously not all
the components of gnome, and certainly not all components of gnucash.
So, I suppose I need to check the .info file for gnucash and rebuild
every package on which it depends and then rebuild gnucash? I
remember that the first time I installed gnucash, the number of
dependencies was something like 150! I ain't got that kind of time,
but if you have any suggestions about the packages that would make
sense to rebuild, I would be very happy to hear it. I may also elect
to just wait. :) Or switch to jgnash. (j/k)

Hi Peter,
Well, I managed to reproduce the same bug with guile 16 that someone
else reported a while back.
http://article.gmane.org/gmane.os.apple.fink.general/17511/match=guile
I have followed the directions you gave at the time. The process that
hangs is this:
20018 p1 R 0:30.02 /sw/bin/guile-1.6 -e main -s /sw/lib/
gnucash/override
and the gdb output looks like this:

I reported on the list yesterday that Gnucash did finally launch
yesterday. After letting guile throttle for 15 minutes today,
however, nothing happens. HTH.
