gnucash - pleeeease work!?

[agh98]

After debating the pros/cons of gnucash/moneydance/icash/liquidledger/ibank, I've decided to give gnuchash a shot. Never been a quicken user - especially after reading the negatives over on versiontracker.
BUT, something seems to be screwed up with my fink, X11 setup or something else. When I type "fink install gnucash" I get a sudden stop:
Reading package info...(bottom)
I wish they had an aqua version. I've heard it takes 24 hours to compile this program! Has anyone documented their install "luck" or steps that actually work?

Well, that's good to hear.
I used to use quicken on the PC as well with no incident. I've just been reluctant to do the mac version with all the negatives I've read. Hearing your positive feedback, though, is encouraging. Thanks.
