Some of these dependencies are small while others are are quite big. Fortunatley you can resume your gnucash installation at anytime!, if you still use dial up this is a great feature. if you do have to terminate the installation to resume later, just highlight gnucash again and go to the Binary menu to continue. When it get's to the file that was stopped midway, it will know and then ask you if this is an incomplete download, just tell fink to resume. it will pick up were it left off.
This process does require you to be connected to the internet for a while, if you have broadband it should take about 30mins. I did it on a dial up account, spread over 2 days, at my leisure. When fink commander has installed everything it needs, the final thing it will do is start to compile and build the application. this process does not require you to be on the internet the compile and build process will take about and hour and a half.
Time to have some dinner.......
Finally once that is done, start up Apple's X11 application, found in your main applications folder now you will see a window called xterm just type in at the prompt:
/sw/bin/gnucash
(this is how you launch x11 app's) That's it!!! you will now be greeted by a Gnucash window as it start's up, followed by a accounts register window create a new account and follow gnucash's druid to set up a typical account. Enjoy!!!! Note: www.gnucash.org has links to help manuals which will help you get the software set up quickly.
Update: I have written a very cool app to save you having summon gnucash by typing it's name into the xterm window of X11 download it out Here!!
