this gets rid of the error message but nothing happens, neither from the terminal nor from the x11 menu.
i can now run gnucash from the terminal but i can't launch it from the x11 menu, despite followng the instructions in step 4.
So you can run gnu cash now? I'm confused because of the conflicting information. If you can run it from a termianl but not the X11 window, type 'env' in terminal and X11 window the paths are probably different and that is the problem. Did you delete your old .bashrc file?

Did you do as it says here: http://homepage.mac.com/duling/halfdozen/DP-XWin-Howto.html 1) Have a file called ~/.profile with this in it: export PATH=/opt/local/bin:/opt/local/sbin:$PATH export DISPLAY=:0 export EDITOR=/usr/bin/pico (or your favorite editor) 2) your /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc file should have this line in it: source ~/.profile And get rid of your previous .bashrc file.
