Gnucash fails to install: configure dbus-glib failure

[Bjorn Berg]

So I'm new at this. Can I just type 'port uninstall dbus' on a command 
line? How do I find those programs that are affected by the newinstall, 
just run everything? Shouldn't this be a consideration in the release of 
a new version that looks like its capable of so much havoc?
