Did you rebuild gnucash2, or just reinstall it? If you do "fink reinstall gnucash2", fink simply unpacks the deb file that it had created whenever you built gnucash2, and if there were cross contamination issues they will still be there. If you do a "fink rebuild gnucash2", then fink will compile it again, using what you have installed on your computer right now. First, make sure there is nothing in /usr/local. Then, do a "fink rebuild gnucash2". -- Kevin Horton Ottawa, Canada ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Microsoft Defy all challenges.
