Problems with Gnucash & Gramps

Hi David,

Here's my take on the problems you've been experiencing.

I've seen the comments from other people, but I can't help but think  
that there's a better way of dealing with this than fiddling with  
DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH and DYLD_FALLBACK_LIBRARY_PATH.  One think that I'd  
suggest would be to try forcing a rebuild of Gnucash's dependencies,  
and after that Gnucash itself.  The jpeg port provides /opt/local/lib/ 
libjpeg.62.dylib, so the following will hopefully work:

sudo port -f upgrade jpeg
sudo port -fn upgrade gnucash
(-n tells port not to rebuild all the rest of gnucash's dependencies)

If that doesn't work, it looks to me like something that really  
should be fixed by the Gnucash developers rather than the port's  
maintainer, so it'd be great if you can report your problem to them.

This is something that the port maintainer needs to fix; it'd be  
great if you could file a Trac ticket and CC it to him, or failing  
that, if you could email him about the problem (run "port info gnome- 
doc-utils" to his email address).  "Error: violation by /opt/local/ 
man" means that the port is trying to install things into /opt/local/ 
man, which is outside the prescribed MacPorts directory layout  
(raising errors for this is new with MacPorts 1.5.1).

Kind regards,
