Hmmm... Well, GnuCash 2.2.1 builds fine, loads fine, but I get this  
when entering a new transaction:

dyld: lazy symbol binding failed: Symbol not found: _mark_split
   Referenced from: /opt/local/lib/gnucash/libgncmod-engine.dylib
   Expected in: flat namespace

dyld: Symbol not found: _mark_split
   Referenced from: /opt/local/lib/gnucash/libgncmod-engine.dylib
   Expected in: flat namespace

Trace/BPT trap

And then it bombs...

Maybe some more symlinking required...? Not sure.
