here GnuCash quartz is running fine as a quartz build with macports. The
error message above shows indeed problems with dbus. At the end of the
installation of dbus a message appears to tell about two startup items
that must be activated (one as root, one as user). After doing this
gnucash works fine here. Do oyu have problems with the X11 or the quartz
version?
