Spiros-
Have you tried installing Linux on a spare box? I hear it fixes most of these endless and pesky issues on OS X. I've spent far more time than I'd like to recall trying to get various FLOSS tools and libraries I use to work on OS X, and I have no plans to head back to the platform anytime soon.
GNU/Linux can easily be installed on a MacBook as well, side by side with MacOS X. In fact I that's exactly what I have. However, in princible, being MacOS X a darwin/bsd system in disguise, it should be possible to install most stuff on it. If I'm not mistaken, that's what the whole FINK project is about. But despite having it on my machine, I have no experience installing anything on MacOS X, except for firmware upgrades, and I'm a bit short on time to experiment. Let's see what Spiros is able to accomplish. :-) Cheers, Tiago -- Tiago de Paula Peixoto <tiago@forked.de>
