now i have one final problem to solve. gnucash compiled successfully but i can't run it. i've installed apple's x server (1.1) and i get

the following error when i invoke gnucash from the terminal:

...

_X11TransSocketINETConnect() can't get address for localhost:0:6000: No

...

address associated with nodename (gnucash:8820): Gtk-WARNING **: cannot open display:

i've searched the web and it suggests that the problem is associated with my DISPLAY environment variable. i've tried setting DISPLAY to :0.0 and loca lhost:0.0 in my .bashrc to no avail. any idea what i should do to correct this?

See "set the shell environment for MacPorts" here: http://homepage.mac.com/duling/halfdozen/DP-XWin-Howto.html

I'll get the relevant information on the MacPorts Wiki as soon as I

can.
