>Description:

The file /usr/pkgsrc/misc/gnucash/work/gnucash-1.1.25/Makefile.init.in
refers to /bin/bash. If bash is really necessary, it should refer to
${PREFIX}/bin/bash, shouldn't it? Anyway, I haven't played around with
it, but having a link /bin/bash that points to /bin/sh was sufficient
to let the package compile and install normally, suggesting that there
is no functionality needed from bash that doesn't exist in sh.

>How-To-Repeat:

cd /usr/pkgsrc/misc/gnucash && make

>Fix:

Change the reference to /bin/bash to /bin/sh.
