Problem installing on MacOSX (Lepoard)

[David Reiser]

I'm almost positive you will run into exactly the same error with the  
fink build -- this is an Apple induced error.

The same perl command should work to fix the fink build.

Now I recommend that you run the x11 patch, then rerun 'fink install  
gnucash2' so that you're attempting to complete the most recent effort.
