I give up... for now

I've been trying to get GnuCash working on my new macbook to no avail. I've tried to follow the instructions that the gnu wiki links to, but I keep on getting:

checking if (www main) is available... no
checking for gconf-2.0 >= "2.0"... no
Package gconf-2.0 was not found in the pkg-config search path. Perhaps you should add the directory containing `gconf-2.0.pc' to the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable No package 'gconf-2.0' found
configure: error: Library requirements (gconf-2.0 >= "2.0") not met; consider adjusting the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable if your libraries are in a nonstandard prefix so pkg-config can find them.

I've tried to install the missing lib with fink, but all that I have found is frustration. My idea was to get gnucash working so that I can do my business taxes this year with real tax software, but I think that I'm just going to use what I did last year: spreadsheet software. Yay Open Office!
