Because of as yet unresolved Pango problems, I need to go back to my previous installation of Gnucash. I attempted to do so, but Gnucash complains about a symbol not existing in a dylib. So far the only thing I've deactivated and reactivated the old version of is Gnucash itself. Other things that successfully upgraded have the new version active. Is this causing problems? If so, how do I figure out where the problem is? I attempted to use port provides to figure out where the "missing" dylib was coming from but as you can see below, that didn't look in opt/ at all.

FWIW, this is exactly the same reason that the new Gnucash 2.2.9_1 won't run. Gnucash actually installs and activates despite the Pango failure.

Any help appreciated.

You need to give "port provides" the full path of the file in question.

$ port provides /opt/local/lib/libGL.dylib
/opt/local/lib/libGL.dylib is provided by: mesa

mesa was recently updated to a new version. Check "port installed mesa" to see if you still have the old version around. If so, deactivate the new version and activate the old one.

The solution to my problem (found on the gnucash mailing list from someone initially having a different problem) was to deactivate mesa. That let the gnucash 2.2.9_1 run.

So where did mesa come from if nothing depends on it and it just makes gnucash not run?
