Yes. It was after 2.0.5 that the DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH was added to  
gnucash in various places. It is definitely needed at some point  
(testing?), because gnucash won't complete a 'make check' without it.  
But gnucash probably doesn't need the path set at runtime. I don't  
know the details well enough to propose a specific fix upstream.

So I've fixed it in the fink version by patching gnucash to set  
DYLD_FALLBACK_LIBRARY_PATH for every instance where the non-fallback  
version is set. Works for me.
