Haven't installed it since my last reformat, so I can't say whether it works in Tiger as expected, but I'd imagine it'd be just dandy. I've run it via Fink in the past.

Fink will install one as a dependancy for Gnucash, or you can use the one that Apple supplies with the developer tools. I'd recommend the Fink-installed one, as I've had issues with the Apple one, particularly with Gnucash's graphing engine. For the former, type 'startx &', and the latter just click it in the Applications/Utilities folder. Once it fires up, it'll create a single shell window, where you can actually launch X applications (like Gnucash) successfully. Catherine,

I reinstalled fink for tiger and gnucash, but I still can't get gnucash to run. I run it via the command line, and it just hangs. Any suggestions? Many thanks.
