Problem installing GnuCash

[Andrew Wilson]

Thanks for tips and the ideas.  This was a wierd one.

There is a copy libintl.la in /usr/local/lib, or to give you a copy of the
output from ls -lf libintl*

--------
-rw-r--r--   1 Andrew  wheel  62636 Jun 29  2005 libintl.2.4.0.dylib
lrwxr-xr-x   1 root    wheel     19 Oct 17  2005 libintl.2.dylib ->
libintl.2.4.0.dylib
-rw-r--r--   1 Andrew  wheel  92144 Jun 29  2005 libintl.a
lrwxr-xr-x   1 root    wheel     19 Oct 17  2005 libintl.dylib ->
libintl.2.4.0.dylib
-rw-r--r--   1 Andrew  wheel    865 Jun 29  2005 libintl.la
---------

There don't seem to be any broken links.  However I looked in the
libintl.aand it was configured to put the library in the ChatServer
directory.  I
moved all the files out of /usr/local/lib and then port wouldn't run.  It
needed one file "libreadline.5.0.dylib".

Did a bit more looking around and eventually did a search of all the *.la
files in the system using:

find . -name *.la -exec grep -l "ChatServer" '{}' \; -print

in the appropriate directory.  This showed that goffice was broken and
required the unknown and mysterious ChatServer.  A port uninstall goffice ;
port clean ---all goffice ; port install goffice cycle later, this was
corrected.

Then a sudo port clean --all gnucash ; port install gnucash worked!

I now have a working gnucash on version 2.0.3.  The latest.

It is now giving me grief on my modified reports from version 1.8, however
that is another story.

Thanks everyone to the tips.  Got me in the right direction.

Cheers,
Andrew
